Default Background Image resizing

hello everyone, I have a model that I am starting but my front background image is way to large compared to the side image. Is there anyway to change the images size in AC3D?
Well I probably should have mentioned that I read the tips that appear at startup but I couldnt get it to work, but I figured out that you have to use the arrow keys.

Thanks,
Fordfan

Default Re: Background Image resizing

To resize a background image:

1) Make sure your mouse is in the viewport whose background image you're resizing, and that you've clicked the space (not selecting any object, just selecting "dead space" in the viewport).

2) Hold down the Shift + Alt keys.

3) Use the up and down arrow keys to scale the background image proportionally.

4) To move the image, hold only the Alt key down and use the left and right arrow buttons to move the background image.

Thanks stiglr, I did not know about the part where you move it from side to side either and I havent been able to create any models that are even remotely accurate without knowing this.

Thanks,
