7. The Menus / 7.5 The Layer Menu

### 7.5.4 Change Layer Size

This function allows to change the size of an image layer. The image will not be scaled, but pixels will be added or removed at the edges. The alignment of the current layer content can be set via arrow-buttons. It is possible to place the image with the mouse, too.

- New Size
You can enter the new size and position with text fields. If the active layer has a transparency channel, you can cut off the invisible parts with Crop Size.
- Resize
Resize is similar to New Size, but you enter the size difference instead of the new size.
- Formula
Formula allows to enter formulas as size and position. The following variables are defined:
w: current width
h: current height
You can use all formulas and expressions listed in "Unit Text Fields" (chapter 3.3.7). The formula mode is mostly used in combination with actions (see chapter 4.26).
