The Scale Tool can be used to scale a layer, selection, path or image, depending on the Transform setting.
When you click on your image with the Scale tool,
the Scale dialog is opened, allowing to change the
Width and Height. When the
chain icon is closed, adjustments to one, will adjust the other value
the same percentage. If you do not want this, click the chain icon to
disable the synchronization.
The default size is in pixels, which can be changed in the measurement
drop-down list besides the chain icon.
At the same time a Preview (unless disabled in the Tool Options) is superimposed on the object and handles appear on the corners and borders that you can click and drag to change the dimensions. At the center, a square with a cross inside can be used to move the preview.
Ci sono diverse possibilità per attivare lo strumento:
-
From the main menu: → → .

The available tool options can also be accessed by double clicking the corresponding tool icon in the Toolbox.

![[Nota]](images/note.png)
Nota Queste opzioni sono descritte nelle opzioni comuni degli strumenti di trasformazione.
Nota La modalità di trasformazione lavora solo sul livello attivo. Per lavorare su tutti i livelli dell'immagine, usare Scala immagine.
Per scalare un tracciato, fare riferimento a Trasformazione tracciati.
- Mantieni l'aspetto (Maiusc)
-
When you move a corner of the selection frame, this option will constrain the scale such as the Height/Width ratio of the layer will remain constant. Note that this doesn't work with border handles. Note also that it toggles the
linking chain in the dialog.
- Attorno al centro (Ctrl)
-
Quando questa opzione è abilitata, si può scalare dal centro, radialmente se «Mantieni l'aspetto» è selezionata, altrimenti verticalmente o orizzontalmente.
- Width, Height
-
Here, you can set Width and Height you want to give to the object. The default unit of measurement is pixel. You can change it by using the drop-down list. These values are also automatically changed when you drag handles in the image. If the associated
linking chain is broken, you can change Width and Height
separately.
- Pulsante Riaggiusta
-
With this button you can reset the transform handles back to the original square shape, while keeping the current transformation and zoom level. This enables you to create more complex transformations by making the transformation in several steps.
