But in CC 2019 and CC 2020, the aspect ratio is locked automatically. Holding Shift while dragging a handle scales the image non-proportionally.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, how do you keep aspect <strong>ratio<\/strong> in Photoshop? Press-and-hold the Shift key, grab a corner point, and drag inward to resize the selection area. Because you&#8217;re holding the Shift key as you scale, the aspect ratio (the same ratio as your original photo) remains exactly the same.<\/p>\n<p>As many you asked, how do you lock proportions in Photoshop 2020? <iframe style=\"margin-top:25px;width:100%;height:420px;\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MFWwsiHU-xE\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You asked, how do I resize an image in Photoshop and keep proportions? <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Open your image in <strong>Photoshop<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Go to \u201cImage,\u201d located at the top of the window.<\/li>\n<li>Select \u201cImage Size.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A new window will open.<\/li>\n<li>To maintain the proportions of your image, click the box next to \u201cConstrain Proportions\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Under \u201cDocument Size\u201d:  <\/li>\n<li>Save your file.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Furthermore, how do you maintain aspect <strong>ratio<\/strong>? In the CSS for the <\/p>\n<div>, add a percentage value for padding-bottom and set the position to relative, this will maintain the <strong>aspect<\/strong> ratio of the container. The value of the padding determines the <strong>aspect<\/strong> <strong>ratio<\/strong>. ie 56.25% = 16:9.Step 1: Right-click on the image and select Open.
