Quick Resize

📝 Description:
* This function is used to quickly resize active document based on percents, pixels, current layer/selection or just to change resolution;
💼 Photoshop analogue:
* Image Size menu
👍 Usage:
* To quickly resize image, Quick Resize almost completely replaced Photoshop Image Size menu for me;
* Best used when assigned to a hotkey (mine is Home)

Quick Resize has 4 modes:

  • Percent
  • Pixels
  • Resolution Only
  • By Layer (of Selection) (to resize document so that current layer/selection would be particular size)

In Windows it’s possible to quicky switch between modes with Alt+Q/W/E/R hotkeys, MacOS unfortunately doesn’t support this. Resizing is done suing the Bilinear filtering. Resizing By Layer/Selection is approximate, resulting Layer may be 1-2 pixels larger/smaller in the end.

An example of resizing based on selection so that the sphere would become 200px wide:
