Want to resize very large Smart Photo Fix box!

Post by SJS »

It would be VERY NICE if the Smart Photo Fix box was resizable, or barring that, if the box did not take up over 1/4 of my monitor!

This box obscures far too much of the image I am trying to correct! And it does not need to be this large based on its content!

The Smart Photo Fix dialog is resizable; just drag its lower-right corner. However, even at its minimum size, it can still take up some screen real estate.

A few suggestions:
  • Since you mentioned obscuring the image you are trying to correct, I presume you have the Preview on Image box checked. If so, then you may not need the Before and After preview panel. Click the down-arrow next to Preview to turn it off. This will give you back a little more of your screen. (Clicking the now right-arrow next to Preview will turn it back on.)
  • Changing your display resolution may help. Using a higher resolution will result in a smaller dialog box. However, everything else will be smaller also. For the image, you can zoom in to compensate. Make sure you choose a resolution your monitor can support.
  • You can temporarily move most of the dialog box off-screen. Grab the dialog box's title bar and drag the dialog box anywhere it is convenient. You can probably get about 90% of it out-of-view. Drag it back when you are done.
