Question
Dear friend,
A simple question. I used to use Photoshop's Bounding Box perfectly, but now that
I reinstalled the program, when I try using the keyboard arrows in order to resize
an image selection, the numbers wouldn't increase or decrease (as before),
if you know what I mean. A Photoshop problem, keyboard configuration?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Best,
Chelo

Answer
Hi Chelo,

I need more information from you before I answer this -- mainly, what version of Photoshop are you using?

However -- I can tell you now that in CS, no, you won't be able to use the arrow keys to resize a selection. But once you have an item selected with the marquee tool, you *can* use the arrow keys to move that selection, but not resize it.

So please post back and tell me what version of Photoshop you're using, and also -- more importantly -- what exactlly are you trying to resize? A text box, or a selection from an image? Are you using one of the marquee tools, or are you talking about resizing a text box?
