If you wish, uou can rezise your image now.
Let me give you a tip
In the window where you rezise your image: check resampling using - bicubic.
Now you don't have to sharpen your image after rezising.
Your image is ready. It's not so coloured, but more a little symbolic.
Now you know how to use a selection that's on your disk.
