Sizing, Positioning, and Modifying Layers with the Properties Inspector

After inserting content into a layer, you might need to resize it. For example, in Figure 11.10, you'll notice that I inserted an image into the layer; however, the layer is much larger than the graphic. With the layer selected, you can grab the bottom-right corner handle by clicking and dragging it all the way into the graphic. When you drag into the graphic and attempt to make the layer smaller than the content, the layer automatically resizes to the smallest possible size, not leaving an excess space around the graphic.

Figure 11.10. In this figure, the layer is much larger than the content inside it. Grab the handles on the side to resize the layer.
