Task 1: Resize an image

The rule about resizing images is very simple.

Always use a corner handle to make an image smaller or bigger.

This will maintain the true aspects of the image and keep everything in proportion.

In the table below do not make changes to the original image on the left. Only change the image on the right.

Resize: Make the image on the right smaller

Task 3: Adjusting brightness

Sometimes photos can be too dark. This means that not enough detail can be seen in the photo. We can make changes to the brightness of a photo to reveal some of the lost detail.

Using the Picture Format tools, try adjusting the brightness improve the image and reveal more detail.

Task 4: Cropping images

Sometimes you might need to crop an image. This means you need to cut out some of the image. It’s like using scissors to cut out the bits you do not want in a photo!
