Keeping proportions

Have you ever put a picture on your layout and thought that it would be great to make it bigger? You click on the picture and the little boxes appear around it. You click and drag the corner to enlarge the picture and when you are done, the people in the photo look a bit too skinny and stretched.

There is a very simple technique to keep this from happening. Hold down the shift key while you resize a picture. This works in almost every program I have ever used. When you hold the shift key down and then drag the corner box on a picture, paper, or element in your scrapbooking, it will keep the proportions of that object the same, so that people will look right, circles will stay circles, and clips will still look like clips after they have been resized. Easy isn’t it?!
