It depends. Whether it is just the image you want to redo the canvas size of
it or completely size it.

If all you want to do is change the canvas size, that is easy to do in psp.
If you want the images to all match in relative looks then start over. Show
me what you are working with and what you want the end product to look like
so that I can give you a more clear answer.
