.

Does Chris want to INCREASE or to DECREASE the photo ?

The word "resize" itself does determine nothing . . .

So, INFLATE or DEFLATE ?

Question is a little unclear. Resize by area, or resize by linear dimensions?

If by AREA is meant, then
square inches

This x value is about 0.7446 inches.
Very nearly inch increase in each dimension.
