quick photoshop question

December 7th, 2013
i feel like such a n00b ;p

when i am using the transform --> scale function to resize a layer, how do i constrain the proportions?

in PSE, i'm pretty sure that dragging on the corners kept the proportions the same, but not in PS...

i googled, but all the hits spoke about resizing images - and i know how to constrain proportions for that... but nothing on resizing a layer (think composites where you've cut and pasted in something from a different shot and you need to resize to the scale of the shot you've pasted into)...

tx!

Shift - click - drag will keep the proportions the same...hope that helps :)

And, because it's Photoshop and there's almost always more than one way to do something, you can also click on the 'maintain aspect ratio' lock in the scaling toolbar:
