Scaling output as a percentage of the
original
The Scale field is useful for setting output
dimensions when you know approximately how
big you want the final image to be.
For example, when you want the image to be half
the size of the original, set the value in the
Scale
value to 50%. Or if you want the final image to be
twice the size of the original, set the
Scale value to
200%.
