Why we can't resize,  This is a question I did ask in the help forum to find if there was a way to resize without having soft edge. Mark aka "MarkDu" from Australia gave me a very good explanation and here what he said:   I think what's happening is that your image object has transparent areas filling up the bounding box of the object and when you resize by any method, PI mixes your original pixels with those next to it (i.e. some that were originally fully transparent) to create the resized image.

Thanks Mark for your explanation.

Here is what will happen if you did made something to big or to small, in this case here, my hat is to small for the doll.
Let's see, if I resize the hat to fit her head, what will happen? Hum looks a bit blurry isn't it. Scroll down, we will look at the before and after in zoom.
Before: Look at the hat, all the pixels are nice and clean.
After: Now, let's look at the hat after we did resize. Yuck!! We got extra pixels around that are partly transparent and on top of that it did change the pixels color not only on the edge but also inside.
Is there a way to fix it. Unfortunately, no. I have try many ways and it is faster to redo one the correct size. So this is very important, when making an object that you want to use with an other object that you already have, you make sure you have the right measurements.

The only transform tool, we are able to use, are .
