Because you&#8217;re holding the Shift key as you scale, the aspect <strong>ratio<\/strong> (the same <strong>ratio<\/strong> as your original photo) remains exactly the same.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You asked, how do I resize an image in <strong>Photoshop<\/strong> and <strong>keep<\/strong> the aspect ratio? <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Choose Image > Resize > Image Size.<\/li>\n<li>Select Resample Image, and choose an interpolation method: Nearest Neighbor.  <\/li>\n<li>To maintain the current <strong>aspect<\/strong> ratio, select Constrain Proportions.  <\/li>\n<li>In Pixel Dimensions, enter values for Width and Height.  <\/li>\n<li>Click OK to change the pixel dimensions and resample the image.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Also know, how do I lock a ratio in Photoshop to scale? In previous versions of <strong>Photoshop<\/strong>, we had to press and hold the Shift key as we dragged a handle to lock the aspect <strong>ratio<\/strong> in place. But in CC 2019 and CC 2020, the <strong>aspect<\/strong> ratio is locked automatically. Holding Shift while dragging a handle scales the image non-proportionally.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, how do you keep an image proportionate in Photoshop when resizing it from a corner? Holding down Shift + Alt (Windows) or Shift + Option (Mac) while clicking and dragging a handle will resize an object proportionally from its center if you click a corner handle, or will adjust opposite sides equally if you are using a side handle.<\/p>\n<p>Considering this, how do you lock the <strong>ratio<\/strong> when <strong>resizing<\/strong> an image so it keeps its original ratio? Using the \u201cShift\u201d is a quick method by which you can make sure that the aspect ratio of the image remains locked when changing the size of the image. Simply press the shift key, and drag the image from one of the edges or the sides, and the image will be resized in the same <strong>aspect<\/strong> ratio.It&#8217;s a new feature. Adobe has reversed the behaviour. Proportional scaling is now the default. Press Shift for non-proportional scaling.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you crop a photo but keep it the same size?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Press-and-hold the Shift key, grab a corner point, and drag inward to resize the selection area.
