Pixel Resize Options and Resulting Action

You can reduce and enlarge the size of one or more images from Manage mode by entering a new dimension in pixels. For more information on how to resize an image using pixel dimensions, please see Resizing an image or Resizing multiple images.

Enlarging an image tends to pixelate the image, reducing image quality. It is best to avoid enlarging images.
