: How to re-size images taken with Print Screen while keeping the original aspect ratio? Say for instance I have pressed Print Screen and cut the following image: Now I wish to scale this down

You just need to tell Paint to keep the ratio when scaling. This is what my paint (Windows 8) looks like, but there should be a similar command in yours if your OS is different:



If you need to work with images I suggest you download a copy of The Gimp. It's free, open source and quite easy to use. The same dialog as above in Gimp will look something like this. The little chain icon is the one that tells the re-size to keep proportions:



See the image source and detailed instructions to re-size in Gimp.

Gimp has a lot of tutorials worth checking as well.
