246 CHAPTER 12 Editing projects Note: Resizing a project numerous times can result in quality deterioration. As far as possible, try to resize a project only once. To resize a project: 1 Open an Adobe Captivate project. 2 Select Project > Resize Project. 3 Under Size, enter an exact custom size in pixels in Width and Height (minimum size 100 x 100), or enter a percentage for Width and Height with the current size being 100%. (For example, to make the project slightly bigger, enter 110%; to make the project much smaller, enter 50%.) Alternatively, you can select the Preset size option and select a commonly used size, such as 640 x 480, from the pop-up menu. If you want, select the Maintain aspect ratio option, which maintains the height and width proportions when the image is resized. This assures that the image is displayed accurately and is not distorted. 4 You have different options depending on whether the new size you specified is larger or smaller than the original size. The following options are in the If the new size is larger area: Rescale project to fit new size This option resizes the entire project to the new larger size you specified. To also rescale any objects in the project, select the Rescale captions, highlight boxes, and other objects option. Keep project the same size and fill background with color This option keeps the project the same size, but creates a project background at the size that you specified earlier. For example, if your original project is 550 x 400 pixels and you set the new size to 640 x 480, this option keeps the project at 550 x 400 and creates extra space around the project of 90 x 80. You can select any background color and choose a position for the project on the background, such as Center or Top Right. The following options are in the If the new size is smaller area: Rescale This option resizes and resamples the project to provide a good quality project. To also rescale any objects in the project, select the Rescale captions, highlight boxes, and other objects option. Crop This option crops the project to the new size. If you select the crop option, click Next to open the Crop Area dialog box where you can define a crop area. Rescale captions, highlight boxes, and other objects Select this option to have Adobe Captivate automatically rescale all objects in your project such as captions, highlight boxes, click boxes, and text entry boxes to the new, smaller size. 5 Click Finish.
