- Choose Content-Aware Scaling again. Like all transforma-
tions, content-aware scaling rewrites pixels, so by definition it’s
a destructive modification. Were it a typical transformation, you
shouldn’t apply it multiple times in a row. But content-aware
scaling actually produces better effects if you apply it in multiple
passes. So choose Edit→Content-Aware Scale to do just that. - Scale the image as desired. Make the image the full height of
the canvas and skinnier still. Assuming that the icon remains
on, you’ll find it difficult to harm the woman. When you’re fin-
ished, press Enter or Return to apply the change.
Figure 8-40 compares the content-aware scaling to an identical
nonproportional stretch applied via the Free Transform command.
The differences are so obvious as to render any description I might
offer altogether redundant.
