Changing canvas size in Photoshop

Step 1: open the scanned image or snap you have taken by your digital camera.


Step 2: Click “Image > Canvas Size”. “Canvas size” dialogue box will be appeared on the screen.

This dialogue box shows the current size of the image. It is now showing 10.667 width and 7.111 height. By changing width and height, you can change the canvas size.

Step 3: Type 13 as a width and 10 as a height. Now the will be looked like this.

You can also reduce this width and height so that image will be cropped.

Anchor shows that where you want to put the image after changing the size of the canvas. You can also set the position of the photo by clicking desired anchor point. But by default it is set to the center.

Step 4: Change the anchor point to upper left corner so the image will be place on the upper left corner.
