After you create an object, you can change its size
by scaling it. To resize an object, either smaller or larger, you can
use the Scale tool, which is under the Free Transform tool .
You can transform the object from its center or the reference point. If
you want to scale an object using exact percentages, you can use the
Transform panel, which is available from the Object & Layout submenu
on the Window menu.
