Reduce the size of the image loses sharpness

UNTIL YOU GO WITHOUT READING ALL OF THIS, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP BY ANSWERING A SIMPLE QUESTION:

I have a background that has outside dimensions of 8.5 "x 11".  In the project bin, I am also showing a layer (with transparent edges) that I've resized to 1 "x 1.5".  When I double click on the background to put on the screen, and then drag the layer on the screen, why is she not in look like to a small image at the top of a large?  Instead, it's huge, and I have to drag it to the size with the tool move!

===========================================================================

And now, the history:

Running PSE9 under Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

My project is a montage of images in format stamp on a background of letter size, as in the joint - commemorating the woman in the centerpiece.  I tripped but this kind of effort before with great success.  This small time pictures come out blurry, and it's because this time I have done one thing differently.

In previous efforts, I remember somehow reducing the external dimensions of an open file at about 2 'x 3' before the revision and finally adding a layer to the great background (with the help of move tool size to fit), though only when editing, I worked with a reasonable size image and not a stamp (probably using command +).  The final images were all sharp.   On this effort, however, my brain of aging has not helped remind me how to do likewise and I ended up working with the original photo, and then when I added it as a layer, I reduced by using the move tool - very awkward, because the edited layer image seems to be larger than the canvas, I was building , and the final images were blurred.

I started to read help about resizing, but it was much too much information for me to absorb before the end of the year, and I want to complete the work within the next few days. (The attached picture IS the ongoing project, and I whipped out in one day, albeit blurred).   I'd appreciate if someone could give me a step-by-step brute force to make in the way I've done it successfully before.

The answer to your first question, and the big one are very closely related. When you combine images, the resolution of the background layer (background) determines the resolution of the whole image. This means that if you have a background of low resolution (say, 72 dpi) and can bring you high resolution images (say, 300 dpi), adding content will be huge compared to the size of the overall picture. When you resize it with the tool move you do yourself a favor if you make significant changes in this way.

The best way to address the issue is to ensure that all your images are at the same resolution before you start (image > resize > image size). Also, make sure that your background is not a low resolution or the final result will be printed badly little matter how long you spend combining things.

  • stop the images lose the file size when scaled down?

    Ive read this tutorial;
    http://joedasilva.com/blog/?p=32
    and ive just discovered that if put you across a smaller image, the file size is decreased so permanent and expansion of the image again it will be pixalated. If I'm working with images and I want freedom to play with the scaling, do I need to convert them all to grafics?

    Is there a setting that I can change so that the images are saved to the display resolution when I export, but maintain there full size of the file in the document? Is this how illustrator works?
    Thank you

    Well Yes, the large version convert a graphic symbol. In this way, you will not

  • Can there be a script to reduce the images by a percentage?

    Hello

    I'm trying to decrease the file size of a .swf file.  To do this, I'll have to export all images in flash in photoshop, then reduce the size to a certain % to maintain the proportions of the origianl images in the. Fla.  After they have been downsized, I have to then reinsert them into flash and then place them were they should be to ensure that everything is in place correctly.  yeesh.

    So to make my life a little easier, is there a way to set photoshop so that these images (all in a certain folder) can be treated so that they are say, 60% of the original size for each of them?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you can create folders on each image that Photoshop should be able to do for you that action of one simple step should you need not a script. Use file menu > Automate > batch Point dialog box to your files and your little batch resize action.  Checking size of Resample image and constrain select the interpolation like Bicubic Sharper method and set the width on the pecent of the initial width like 90%

  • Why print multiple pages per sheet reduce the image?

    Two pages of 5.5x8.5 must print 2-up on 8.5 x 11 WITHOUT reducing the size of the image. Taxation of basic page! (I'm talking about Acrobat DC, specifically.)

    The answer is very simple.

    Acrobat does not currently a tool of imposition of real page. How Acrobat reduced the size of the pages has to do with areas conscious as defined by the printer driver and therefore, even if you try to make a booklet of 5.5x8 pages on paper 8.5 x 11, Acrobat reduced the size of the pages to accommodate the unprintable margins.

    There are third party for Acrobat plugins that perform this and much more sophisticated tax functions.

  • Is there a way to reduce the size of images without doing it in photoshop?

    Hi all

    I have a document with a ton of images, all of high resolution press ready. I need now this doc to the web, even at low resolution, the pdf file is still 6 MB.

    Is there a way to reduce the images in the file for the web without batch processing in photoshop? Just curious.

    See you soon

    S

    You should be able to reduce the size of the PDF file by changing export settings. In the export settings you can flatten transparency (PDF 1.3 can produce a smaller file), convert CMYK to RGB (output > color Conversion), lower quality of resolution and compression (Compression tab).

  • How to reduce the size of the jpg file, not the size of pixel?

    I prepare images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one on gifs and the other on the jpg files.
    My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired at 600 dpi pixel dimensions
    It gives me a little crisp image. can I use this what if the file size is quite low (I try for less than 600 KB) or convert to gif with the save for Web and devices.

    Here are my 2 questions (I'll count this solved with each answer)

    (1) when I convert a gif that I have 4 boxes: one with the original size, the other 3 with options but, often, the options are too low resolution for me how can I change my 3 options starting with a higher res gif?

    (2) if I try to reduce the size of the jpg in the image size box I put the lower resolution (400, 300), which reduces the pixel dimensions and the size of the file, but I don't want to change the pixel dimensions. If I reset the dimensions in pixels to the size I want, even if it is a lower resolution that the file size does not change. How to reduce the size of the jpg file using only the resolution, the pixel dimensions not?  PS I tried to play with the checking and unchecking the 3 small boxes (scale of styles, constrain the proportions and re - sample) but nothing has worked.

    GIF is not a type of large file, especially if you want a sharp image. What are the dimensions of the pixel?

    For the web, it is immaterial that the dpi is, only the last pixel dimensions, so once you have that you want to use 'save for Web and devices' and you can reduce quality - 100% being the maximum and 0% being the lowest. I wouldn't save anything less than 55%. For an image of 600 KB, the size must be large enough.

  • size of the image file

    Hi all

    I have an application that includes the photo module. I use under encoding settings:

    String encoding = "encoding = jpeg & width = 1024 & height = 768 & quality = normal;

    The problem is the image size. For the same scene when I use 9780 it is approximately 350KB for 9800, it is only 80KB. Can someone please explain the reason for this difference?

    Y at - it no additional or other adjustment means that I can use to reduce the size of the file for 9780? (physical size 1024 * 768 should not be changed).

    Thank you.

    Could not find any additional setting. I used the method to reduce the image quality and therefore the size of the image file without changing the resolution of the image below.

  • How do I keep the size of an Image when it is placed on a new canvas?

    I've worked with a lot of different Photoshops, but recently, I was in another computer so I just Photoshop Elements. I was excited about its use and opens a blank canvas to start working with. When I pasted into another image, he immediately reduced the image to fit at the height of the canvas, which is not what I wanted. I want the image to maintain full-size when pasted in the new canvas.

    I've scoured Google for an answer to this, but the answers do not work, I can not find them or my mind is not enough common sense to understand what they are saying about tech.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Try to reduce the size of the file of my opening a flash site page

    I use the Flash CS4 IDE, and the first page of my site takes more time to load I want that there.  So I tried to go through the various images / symbols / movie clips / sounds and so on to see where all the memory is be chewed.

    When I go into my library, however, I can see the name, the binding, the usecound and the Type of my items, but no mention of the size of the file and I can't seem to find that a right-click menu that allows me to add the size of the file to the list of the details shown.

    Is there a way to see the size of the file?  Or a workaround?

    And are there best practices to reduce the size of the file except using symbols for everything that is used more than once and reduce the image and sound quality?

    Thank you
