More precise image resizing

Sometimes I want to resize an image to make it smaller so that the text box next to it can be bigger to fit all the text on the page without it having to scroll (on device books). I think maybe it was intentional to limit the percentage jumps, but sometimes I find this challenging and would like it to be more precise. For example, sometimes, it will do ‘fit to image’ or ‘2/3 of image’ and sometimes a particular percentage. For example, the image will be at 69% and then it will jump to ‘fit image 72.7%’ and sometimes neither of them is just right, but 70 or 71% would be perfect for the image size so that the text box would be just the way I want it. Can we bring back the possibility of having the images being able to be adjusted by single percentage increases/decreases? I don’t mind not having decimal fractions, but single percentages would be helpful.

Hi Julie,
To get fine control over the origami splitters, hold down the CTRL key while you drag.

Enjoy!

Thanks. After I read your reply, I thought that it would be helpful if there was something in Bloom to let us know this, then when I went to try it out, I found that there is a little thing that pops up every time you drag to change the size that says exactly that! Sometimes we see things all the time and don’t even notice them!
