Final answer:
To resize an image in InDesign without cropping, select the image, hold the Shift key, and drag the corners of the frame. Enable 'Auto-Fit' or use 'Fit Content Proportionally' for manual scaling. Use Ctrl/Cmd with Shift to resize the frame and content together.
Step-by-step explanation:
To resize an image in Adobe InDesign without cropping it, you can use the following steps:
- Select the image with the Selection tool (black arrow).
- Press and hold the Shift key to maintain the image's proportions.
- Drag the corners of the image frame to resize the image. If you want to scale the content and the frame simultaneously, make sure the 'Auto-Fit' option is checked in the Control panel.
- If the 'Auto-Fit' option is not enabled, you can manually scale the image by right-clicking on it, selecting 'Fitting', and then 'Fit Content Proportionally'.
- You can also select the image and press Ctrl or Cmd along with Shift to resize both the frame and the content proportionally.
This will allow you to resize the image to your desired dimensions without cropping it, ensuring that the entire image remains visible within the resized frame.
