When you resize an image in the graphics editor Adobe Photoshop, all its layers are proportionally changed. A link to this operation is placed in the "Image" section of the editor menu. But if you need to resize not the whole picture, but only one separate layer, then you need to use the options from the "Editing" section.

Instructions
Step 1
To be able to select a layer with which you want to do some kind of operation, you should open the layers palette. To do this, open the "Window" section in the menu and click the "Layers" item. This action corresponds to pressing the "hot key" F7.
Step 2
In the layers palette, select the one you want to resize by clicking the mouse.
Step 3
Now turn on the transform mode of the image. Links to it are placed in the "Editing" section of the editor menu. But you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + T.
Step 4
As a result, a rectangle will appear around the image of this layer, indicating its dimensions. In each of its corners and in the middle of each side, squares mark the nodal points, by moving them with the mouse, you can change the size and shape of the selected image.
Step 5
To resize the layer, hold down the SHIFT key and move any of the four anchor points in the corners of the rectangle.
Step 6
The same can be done in another way - using the parameters panel. First, click the icon with the chain links between the fields "W" and "H" so that Photoshop will change proportionally when changing, for example, the width. Then click the number 100% in any of these boxes ("W" or "H") and use the up and down arrow keys to decrease or increase the size of the image on that layer.
Step 7
By changing the values in other fields of the parameters panel in the same way, you can move the contents of the selected layer horizontally ("X") and vertically ("Y"), tilt the image horizontally ("H") and vertically ("V"). In addition, the image in this layer can be rotated around the center point. By default, it is placed in the center of the rectangle, but you can drag it with the mouse to any place both inside the picture and outside its perimeter.
