To resize the entire image document you want to go to menu — Image > Image Size (or Alt+Ctrl+I). Make sure the “Constrain Proportions” box is checked then change your width or height to whatever size you want. Photoshop will lock the ratio and keep the other dimension at the proper dimension to prevent distortion.

How do you change the size of a picture without distorting it?

To avoid distortion, just drag using SHIFT + CORNER HANDLE–(No need to even check if the image is proportionally locked):

  1. To maintain proportions, press and hold SHIFT while you drag the corner sizing handle.
  2. To keep the center in the same place, press and hold CTRL while you drag the sizing handle.
