I'm not sure if I understand your problem.. What's imperfect with the resizing? Doesn't the figure scale proportionally? or don't you have enough control over the resizing?
As an alternative to using the Ctrl+mouse try using the keyboard. Select your image and use the '<' and '>' keys to resize (together with Ctrl or Alt for bigger or smaller steps). You can configure the "normal" step in the preference dialog.
- When using the text tool, I would like to add special character such as
"ñ" using the Alt <key> -164, it won't show the said character. Why could this be and how can I go about it?
Try Ctrl+U, type a four digit hexadecimal number (00f1) and hit enter. See http://www.unicode.org/charts/ for charts with Unicode character codes.
