On the bottom side of this window, you will see the new file size of the modified picture. You can always undo or alter the resizing options if the details from the Resulting Size panel don't match your needs. The information from the Resulting Size panel is automatically updated as soon as you alter the image resolution. If you want, you can choose one of the default resizing profiles which can be accessed by clicking on the tree menu from the right side of the 'Fit Into' option.
