Changing image dimensions

You can change the physical dimensions of images by increasing or decreasing their height and width. When you increase image dimensions, the application inserts new pixels between existing pixels, and their colors are based on the colors of adjacent pixels. If you increase image dimensions significantly, images may appear stretched and pixelated.

You can change the height and width of an image without changing the resolution. The center image is the original, the first image has smaller dimensions, and the third image has larger dimensions. Notice the pixelation of the larger image.
