Image size vs. resolution

Could someone please explain me what is the best way to reduce the size of an image without losing (much) of its resolution? It has always been a source of confusion for me this relationship between resolution vs. size... In this particular case, I have this great photo that I would like to resize and use on a web page and even if I know, that it cannot have more than 72 DPI on screen, I want to keep it as sharp and well-defined as possible within the limits of size of file for web publication.

Thanks a lot for your help

Forget the ppi with images for the web. The extent of the IPP has no use.

Everything you need yourself with concern is the number of pixels in width by the number of pixels high.

  • New Image size and resolution in CC

    Hello.

    OK, maybe I'm missing something, but how can I reduce the PPI of a picture given in the CC of Photoshop? It changes in the size of the image, in the field of the resolution, it building nothing. It records an entry in the history panel, but nothing changes in the image. Adobe changed how it works, or is it just a bug?


    Thank you.

    You have Width and Height value %. Try setting to the real measure, as in. or cm.

    Hi all...

    I use the trial. Wanted to experience the burn on a DVD. I tried a few methods. When I choose to share via DVD the image size is reduced to 720 when the project, which I pointed out, is set to 1080. I checked all the information on all the sequences and to 1080.

  • How to export a full size, full resolution Photos photo?

    Background:

    I am a very literate Mac user, but have NEVER used iPhotos or Photos - initially because I didn't like how they seized my photos and hid in a place where it took an expert user to show me where they were.

    Meanwhile, my cousin, who is 77, has all his pictures in Photos.  They were originally in iPhoto, but after that its database has become corrupted and all the photos that have been "disappeared": she spent several hundred $$ to Apple store for them to create a new database and search and restore all the pictures, (of course all its manifestations and albums "disappeared" in the process) she ended up with 6 or 7 duplicates of many of his photos and told to go home and remove duplicates that she tried to fol (its 3000 original photos became 15 000 pictures after the "repair")

    During this time, she would be now as export a couple of full-size, full resolution photos on his desk so that she can download them to print.  Could someone guide me please for a quick and simple tutorial on how to achieve?  I may go beyond helping him do this tomorrow and could probably figure it out - but it would be great if a kind person could tell me how to do this for her.

    Thank you and happy holidays to you all.

    Hi Pariseau,

    That's what I do, there are probably other ways.

    (1) in the Photos, click on the image to select it, click the 'invisible' box below and type a recognizable title:

    (2) press ENTER, leave the selected image and pull down the file menu:

    (3) choose export > export then 1 Photo... (or to the Unmodified Original export... If you have changed the original and that you want to export an unedited version.)

    You will get this window:

    You can switch between different file formats, but by selecting a JPEG quality and size will give you the biggest and least file compressed.

    Under file naming, choose use title so that your exported file will have the name you gave it in step 1. Click Export.

    (4) you will then get a dialog box that allows you to choose the folder in which you want to export to, but crucially (and wrongly IMHO) does not allow you to name the file at this stage:

    But you are good to go because you gave the image of a title in step 1, then choose a folder (office here) and go ahead and click Export.

    This is where your photo will end up, and it should be the same size as the original:

    Hope this helps, happy holidays to you too.

  • Background images for differnet resolutions

    Hello

    Is there a way to define a single resource (background image) via styles or any other approach that will have definition for all taken screen resolutions supported (BB10 has 3 resolutions defined with portrait/landscape modes = 5 bitmaps)?

    So, I can use this asset without success all the stuff in a code trying to find what the resolution is now and where - and then only - get a correct picture of the assets.

    There are a lot of messages in this forum, but none seems to describe exactly the same problem.

    Thank you

    If you talk to a background image for the application, you have to manage yourself. If you are talking about the splash screen, then you would list each boot image in the XML file.

    You can resize the image to fit the scene, then you might have a rectangular and square and then resized image depending on the scene according to the needs. If you don't want to resize, then you need an image for each resolution device and a naming convention, you could load dynamically depending on the size of the stage (bg_720_720.jpg, etc.).

    CSS may be able to help, since you can load different CSS at startup, but this would require still allows you to define a CSS for each change that you want to support. CSS will be more important when BB10 is available on the PlayBook, since the density of the screen is very different.

    Does that help?

  • CC 2015.5 settings dialog Print - Preview Image size incorrect

    I just upgraded to PSCC PSCS5 and the last installed update.

    When I was using PSCS5 I always had problems printing and have not used PS for printing since I Lightroom, which does a MUCH better job of handling the print job.

    I try to print a picture on paper photo 4 x 6 on a new Epson HC-P400 (the successor of the R1900 and R2000).  The Photoshop print settings dialog box, with the preview of the image, seems to show that it will print a tiny part in the middle of the complete picture, even if all the settings are set to adjust the image to the size of the paper.

    I'm afraid to try impression because this same issue has been a problem 5 or 6 years when I used PSCS5, and he would try to print the entire image, spray of ink everywhere inside the printer.

    How can I get PSCC to correct preview and print the image to the appropriate size?

    Here is a screenshot of the image in the main window of PSCC (reduced to 20%):

  • Sizing of the images of several resolutions to print on a page of a resolution

    Maybe it's a basic question of Photoshop that betrays my lack of experience with the digital workspace, but I would like to know how to draw multiple images of different resolutions on a 300 ppi page, intended to be printed.

    I have three images: a 300 ppi, 3 x 4 inches, another is 4 x 5 inch, 900 DPI and a third is 4 x 5 inches, 600 dpi.

    I created a single page that is 300 ppi, 8 x 10 inches. My images will be adapted according to the physical size. But when I drop my 600 dpi and ppi 900 images in this page, they explode at twice and three times the space, spoiling my efforts to put them. Similarly, if I cut the ppi on images greater than 300 DPI, they explode as well.

    The only possible option I think that might work is automatic Resample/bicubic. But wouldn't that reduce the quality of the image?

    Thank you!

    An image file is a single file, no matter how many layers and images and sizes of pictures in there is that a single resolution than one resolution that all layers and images have the same resolution, the current resolution set in the document or the file setting.

    You can process the image file and save the files that have different resolution and different image of an open image size.  You would set something like that using the Image Processor Pro Script Photoshop plug-in that is available free on the Web.

    A printed page can have multiple images of different sizes to this topic but all images on the page have the same pixel resolution. They're just a different number of pixels. Larger images are more pixels then small images on the page.

    It's easy to make a layout.  Do your layout and size of your images for your page layout.

    Photo Collage Toolkit

    Scripts for Photoshop is powerful and I think that this package demonstrates this a video showing a collage of 5 model PSD image fills with images:

    The package includes four simple rules to follow to make Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.

    1. Models of photo collage for the desired print size - width and height of the size and DPI print resolution.
    2. Photo collage templates must have a background layer in Photoshop. The content of this layer can be anything.
    3. Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Picture 1", "Picture 2"... "Picture n".
    4. Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to reveal the images which will be placed below them.

    There are fifteen scripts in this package, they provide the following functions:

    1. HelpPhotoCollageToolkit.jsx - online help
    2. TestCollageTemplate.jsx - used to test a model of Collage of Photo while you're doing it with Photoshop.
    3. CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - can build models that are compatible with this toolkit scripts.
    4. LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - used to convert a stack of the Prototype Image layers in a document template.
    5. InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - used to fill interactively model Any Photo Collage. Offers more user control insert images and text.
    6. ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - allows to replace an object layer dynamic image collage populated with another image resized and positioned correctly.
    7. ChangeTextSize.jsx - this script can be used to change the size of text Image stamps when the size used by the filling did not work well.
    8. PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - used to fill a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy automatically opened in Photoshop.
    9. BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - used for the models automatically batch fill Collage that have only a single image inserted. The Collage or picture may be stamped with the text.
    10. BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - used to model automatically batch fill any Photo Collage with images in an image source folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Recorded collages can be twisted.
    11. PasteImageRoll.jsx - paste Images into a document to print on roll paper.
    12. BatchPicturePackage.jsx - used to model automatically batch fill any Photo Collage with an image in the image source folder.  Rotation of images for a better fit.
    13. BatchPicturePackageNoRotate.jsx - used to model automatically batch fill any Photo Collage with an image in the image source folder.
    14. PopulatePicturePackage.jsx - used to fill a Photo Collage fill with the same single image model and leave the populated copy automatically opened in Photoshop.

  • What size and resolution for the web

    Don't know what size and resolution I should I save my photos to FB.  Any suggestions?  AND I can do LR or what I have to go to the PS

    Thank you

    Alisa

    The resolution setting has no effect on the image. No matter what the resolution is fixed to, the pixel dimensions will remain the same. When I post photos on Facebook, I usually export copies with size defined for the long edge of 1000 pixels. Maybe it's a little too big. But you can set the resolution to 72, 96, 300, 600, etc., and it will affect the size or quality of the image.

    And, Yes, you can use Lightroom to export copies to publish on Facebook. In fact, if you set up your publication options, you can post to Facebook directly from Lightroom and not even had to worry about the size.

  • Different sizes of resolution between the Source monitor and program monitor

    Hi guys!

    Newbie here-sorry in advance. The size of resolution replaces my source monitor monitor of the program to the point where its very large in the program monitor and the image stays that way when exporting... What I am doing wrong?

    If all the clips are from the same camera, you make a new sequence that is correct, then put all your clips in it and change. You are simply based on this first clip sequence settings to lay the foundations for your project.

    If you have snippets of a few different types, such as 1080 p and 720 p, then you must decide on a workflow that suits your needs. If the final result must be distributed to 1080 p, you high-end 720 p content, but end result must be 720 p, better off to reduce the content in 1080 p. It depends on different factors.

    Thank you

  • An idea for the dialog box Image size

    Just an idea I had. Should at least make it easier to explain the concept of resolution for beginners:

    image size.png

    Might work? Any opinions? Just a sketch of course, probably could be improved.

    I still like the idea. What I think is needed is a clear method to show the relationship of DPI, image size (not pixels) and resampling. So the beginner can grasp how dpi refers to the size of the image and how a 4 X 5 and 8 X 10 picture can have the same pixel dimension, and how two 8 X 10 images can have different resolutions. They are closely related, but I don't know how to articulate.

  • Basic image size problem

    Seems I have lost a few basics about the sizes of the image.

    When I create a new image, I want image must be made up of centimeters, not pixel, because the pixels do not tell me anything of the physical size of the future picture. So, when I do the new image to 4 x 6 cm, seems that Photoshop does not know is that a cm! So I have to manually "guess" how pixels are there a cm in order to make this cm as real as a 'leader of real life".

    I am sure that this problem has been asked several times, but I have not found the exact type. I know that Photoshop does not know how many pixels my LCD has, that's why he asks on pixels per inch or pixels per cm in order to create a picture.

    I would have this problem solved somehow, so that when I create a data mm image into a square, Photoshop CS would know the pixels in my monitor and I would not guess pixels...

    Basically speaking how to create an image with the "actual size"?

    When you create a new file, you can set this specification.

    Also, with one trust you open and view > leaders verified, by right click on the rule you can make that adjustment

    If, however, you want to set your res file so that it matches the actual size measured with a ruler, follow these instructions:

    For the image that will be presented to a cm on your monitor is a cm of the image, you must determine the resolution of your screen. Here's how:

    1. open a new file: 500 px of width and depth.

    2 see 100% of the size.

    3. use a rule. Measure the width of the image to the screen in cm.

    4 divide 500 by the width of the screen image.

    Result: Resolution of the screen in terms of pixels per cm.

    Next:

    Define your image at this resolution by going to:

    Image > Image size

    Enter the size of the Document screen resolution: resolution field

    ***

    Don't forget: This allows you to create a match of sovereign of image and is not designed for sovereign-to-print match because its resolution is probably too low for quality reproduction. It would be wise to make an image of dupe for your rule of corresponding image.

  • Export the LR5 Image size

    I used LR a good amount and you have not run into this problem before.trying to export images for use in Wordpress (resolution 1620 x 720) and that I put the 'image size' parameters as 1620 x 720 and 'dimension', 'pixels' and 'resolution 300', she continues to their output to 960 x 720.

    The original file size is 3264 x 2448 in JPEG format.

    Also, I use Lightroom 5.7.

    Any thoughts on what keeps me out in my size?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best,
    Glenn K.

    You first need to crop the image to a lengthening of 1620 x 720 (or equivalently of 9 x 4), and then when you export with the 1620 x 720 size settings, you will get what you want.

  • Change the size and resolution

    I have a jpg image which is about five inches square to 500 dpi. I would like to enlarge the image as far as possible keep the resolution suitable for printing at 300 dpi.

    I've linked the resolution setting, but the image is reduced in size. Do I need to enlarge the image first? I'm not sure how much. Or y at - it a button that will do it for me? Thank you.

    When you choose Image > size of the Image, if it indicates the width and height 5 inches and 500 pixels/inch resolution, when you uncheck resampling and resolution, type 300, that will increase the size in inches 8,333 each side that is the maximum size you can get with 300ppi without using interpolation (changing the number of pixels shown in the section of the Dimension in pixels of the window the size of the Image).

    You can increase the size by using the interpolation, which is what happens when resample is checked. To increase the size, you can choose Bicubic Smoother (best for enlargements) in the menu at the bottom of the window to the size of the Image. But what will be the outcome depends on the distance of visualization of the printed image, your standards of enlargement, and the details on the image itself - for example, if it is an image of a foggy environment, the size can be increased much more without noticeable loss of details as opposed to an image with strong contrast details.

  • Different algorithm when changing the size in the dialog vs tool crop Image size?

    In Photoshop CC 2014, I would look to change the size of the image and increase the DPI of 180 to 300.  If I open the dialog "Image size", using CTRL-I, I can set the resolution to 300 dpi, change the width and height, if I want, and I can choose the resampling to use, automatic algorithm, preserve the details, etc...

    If I'm resizing an image for printing to a specific dimension, say a poster 24 x 36, I find much easier to just go in the crop tool, select 24 inches by 36 inches and change the px / 300 so I can see what size I need and select the culture I want for the image. I don't see any option for the algorithm to use well, so someone can tell me what algorithm it uses?  Is it possible to specify?  Can I use the Image Size dialog box to increase the DPI first before cropping?

    Basically, what is the best method to use to get the best image quality when you try to resize a photo for a large physical size and increase the DPI at the same time?

    Thank you in advance.

    I suspect the preferences > General > parameter Interpolation of the Image will be used.

  • Increase the physical dimensions of the image in high resolution?

    I have an image I want to use in a video, if it is not physically large enough to fill the dimensions of 1920 x 1080 video, she has a resolution of 300ppi and video needs only 72 dpi. How to take advantage of the fact that it's an image high definition and increase the physical dimensions of the image? Is there a way to do this?

    Thank you.

    If you are told that you should print at 4 inches by 6 inches at 300 dpi, follow these steps:

    • Choose Image - Image size.
    • Check the box resampling .
    • In the resolution box, type 300 .
    • Put 4 to 6 inches in the height and Width boxes (or vice versa if it's a bitmap portrait).

    You will find yourself with an image 1200 x 1800 pixels that will be printed at 4 by 6 inches, your goal of printing at 300 ppi.

    Printing will be probably not as sharp and detailed as if you had printed at 4 by 6 inches without downsampling at 300 ppi.

    You will do well to try to begin to understand how the images are expressed in pixels, and why the above is true, while in the future, you will know when the issue of the requirements.  This thread you might also like:
