An elaborated article about how to scale proportionally in Photoshop:

When scaling an image in Photoshop, it is important to keep in mind the aspect ratio of the image. The aspect ratio is the ratio of the width to the height of the image.

When scaling an image, it is important to keep the aspect ratio of the image the same. To scale an image proportionally, you can use the Scale tool in the Image window.

PRO TIP: When you scale an image in Photoshop, it is important to note that the image will be resized proportionally by default. This means that the width and height of the image will be changed by the same amount. However, you can also choose to resize an image non-proportionally by unchecking the ‘Constrain Proportions’ option in the ‘Scale’ dialog box.

To scale an image proportionally, first select the image you want to scale. Then, use the Scale tool to drag the mouse cursor over the area of the image you want to scale. The Scale tool will appear as a slider with two handles.

The left handle represents the width of the image, and the right handle represents the height of the image. The Scale tool will change to indicate how much the image has been scaled.

To keep the aspect ratio of the image the same, you need to drag the left handle of the Scale tool until the desired width of the image is equal to the desired height of the image. Then, drag the right handle of the Scale tool until the desired height of the image is equal to the desired width of the image.
