This feature is only available in the desktop editor.
Canvas resize handles
ScreenSteps has four handles around the sides of an image content block image editor that will resize the canvas. Clicking on any of these handles will allow you to change the size of the canvas where images and annotations can be placed. You cannot make the canvas smaller than an image (e.g. you cannot crop an image using the canvas handles).
Resizing an image with the image resize handle
If your image content block has a single image then an image resize handle will appear in the bottom-right corner when the content block is selected. Clicking on this handle will allow you to resize the image. Hold down the Option (OS X) / Control (Windows) key while resizing to resize in 10% increments.
Resizing an image with the image tool
You can also use the image tool to resize images. With the image tool selected (1), you can click on an image and handles will appear around the image (2). You can click on the handles to resize the image.
Resizing an image using the contextual menu
If you want more precise control over the image size then you can use the image contextual menu. Right-click on the image and select Resize Image....
After selecting Resize Image... a dialog will appear that gives you precise control over the size of the image.

When using the "Resize Image" dialog, is there some way to lock the aspect ratio so that when I change the width, the height automatically adjusts accordingly?
Trevor DeVore
@Amie - The aspect ratio should always be locked. If you update the width the height should be updated as well and vice versa.

Where is this feature on the web version of ScreenSteps? (not desktop version)
Trevor DeVore
@Eileen - it is not available in the web version. I'm editing and annotation is only available in the desktop editor.

Is the ability to resize an image using the resize handle in 10% increments still available? I have found that holding the Alt button as I resize the image does not do anything for the percentage amount it changes.
Trevor DeVore
@Kiersten - it is actually the Control key on Windows. I've updated the documentation. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
