How do I resize icons while preserving aspect ratio?

When you're resizing an icon (or photo, for that matter), we automatically preserve the aspect ratio, so long as you're resizing the icon/photo by clicking and dragging from one of it's corners.

If you'd like to resize an icon or photo, but don't want to preserve the aspect ratio, you can do so by:

• Dragging from the middle points on the left, right, top or bottom
• Holding the SHIFT key while dragging from one of the corners

Finally, if you'd like to resize an icon or photo proportionally from each side, you can do so by holding the OPTION key and then dragging from any corner or side.
