Resizing photos for export using windows 10

I hope Microsoft will add the "resize" function to the Photos app, soon. PLEASE!

When I click on an image, it opens in the Photos app. This app offers basic image manipulation functions, e.g. cropping. So why is there no "resize" function? Have a look at OS X preview app, this and Quick Look is what I'm missing in Windows 10 most.

  Maintain aspect ratio check box.
• After customizing the values of Horizontal and Vertical, click
  OK.

Another way to edit a photo in Paint is by using the Select tool. To do this, follow these steps:
