Resizing a layer in Photoshop can be a bit of a challenge. Here are five tips to make the process easier:

PRO TIP: If you are using Photoshop to resize a layer, be sure to use the “Shift” key while dragging a corner handle to maintain the layer’s aspect ratio, otherwise the layer will be distorted.

1. First, make sure that the layer is selected.
2. Next, click on the layer’s thumbnail in the Layers panel.
3. Next, use the mouse cursor to select the sizing tool that you want to use.

4. When you have selected the sizing tool, use the mouse to drag the layer’s edge to the size that you want it to be.
5. When you have finished sizing the layer, release the mouse button.
