Quick layer resize using handles

[ozrock]

Hi,

Am usied to PI and being able to resize an image layer using the handles, not having to insert actual sizes.

I cannot so far been able to do this in PSP 2020.

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Don't worry, somehow it now works.
Open new file
Open an older file then ctrl c to save ( Cannot right click to save)
Ctrl V to paste into new file
Use handles to resize new layer.
Good.

Update.

Not sure why but it has reverted to not being able to resize with handles.

I can change the dimension etc., but not resize the rectangle image.

I didn't do anything, just opened another 2 images then copied, pasted in to the new panel like before.

On the corners there is the Move Cross icon and a small half moon on top of it, but it is for the dimension.

It's driving me crazy.

Finally found hidden away the Tool Options - Pick Tool where I can chnage mode from Perspective to Scale.

I never use Perspective, so can I have 'Scale' as the default', not Perspective?

It normally defaults to scale. And should take on the last used settings. So once you've set it to scale and actually scaled something it should stay in Scale mode. Note that holding CTRL or SHIFT will temporarily change the mode.

Thanks for the reply.

I figured it would stay after I used it, but no it always defaults back to Perspective so thought that must be normal.

I looked in options and Prefs but couldn't see anything.

Again it will change based on the control keys pressed, and the mode will default to the Last Used not the last selected. If you want it to stay on Scale you have to scale something and select a different tool so that the last used setting becomes Scale.

Ah Haa. Got it !

Will give it a go later today.

Thanks again

Yes that works.

Many thanks
