Resize photos for online use

I have tried all afternoon resize photos for use online and can not follow the instructions.  I know it must be simple, but I am confused.  I would like to talk to a real person, and I'm sure that my problem will be solved in less than five minutes.  Please don't tell me to follow guidelines. I tried.

Hi Kay,

For example, let's say we try to prepare this 1000 x 664 pixels, image 1 MB for display online.

If the site that you post gives you a larger, for example the image must be 600 pixels across, or less, then follow these 4 steps:

1. go in file-> save for Web

2. in the file for Web Panel, look for the boxes of the size of the Image.

3. Enter the desired dimension.  For example, if the Web site that you try to download on requires that the images be 600 pixels across, type 600 in the width box.  The height must recalculate automatically.

4. press the button "Save".  You now have an image stored in the pixel dimensions required!

If the need is for a maximum file size, rather than the size of a specific file, you would follow a different procedure.  If we tried to resize the same 1000 x 664 pixels, 1 MB image to a size of 100KB or less, we would do the following:

1. go in file-> save for Web

2. in the upper right corner of the Save for Web Panel, make sure that the format is set to JPEG.  Our original image was a PNG, which tends to have a larger file.  JPEG images tend to have a reduced file size.

3. in the file for Web Panel, locate the planned size of the file as it is saved with the current settings.  It is in the lower left corner of the image.  In this case, it is 170KB, which is higher than our maximum size of 100 KB.

3. the best way to control the size of file to a given pixel size is reducing the quality of the image.  Image quality controls are in the upper right of the Save for Web Panel.  Export JPEG default setting is 60%.

4. you will need to determine how you want to reduce the image quality in your particular case.  In this example, we can reduce the quality of 60% to 40% without affecting the quality of the image too.  Setting the quality to 40% reduced the size of the image to 99 k, which is below our maximum of 100 KB.

5. When you are satisfied with the quality settings, press Save to save your image.

I hope this helps!

  • Resizing photos for hotmail

    I have pictures on the desktop and want to send then via hotmail, but do not know how to resize

    Depends on what you have installed on your PC program wise.

    For example, to resize an image in Paint - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Resize-a-picture-using-Paint

    Other photo editing software will have a feature similar, probably more powerful than the version of paintings.

  • I compressed my photos for e-mail. Then when I resized them they were blurred. How can I delete them again?

    I compressed my photos to download to send to someone. I have compresses them for email (which is the smallest of the compression.

    They said the size was ok, but now the pictures were too blurry.  How can I get them back to clear?

    DavidMCandy is correct... the data is missing.

    Looks like you were using Microsoft Office Picture Manager...

    When you go to edit pictures and choose to compress the images.
    E-mail messages... it reduces the dimensions of the picture in pixels
    to fit in a window of 160 x 160 (it's barely a size of thumbnails)

    Then, when you close the Manager of photo... it displays a dialog box
    who says:

    There are changes that have not been registered
    Save not save cancel

    If you choose... Save... pictures will be compressed and photo
    Farm Manager.  This action overrides (replaces) the original
    (uncompressed) versions of the photos and the recovery is not a
    option.

    To prevent this from happening in the future... create renamed
    copies of the photos 'before' compression and only compresses
    copies of famous.

    ====================================
    Sometimes the only resizing is not the answer because the
    the original size is different from the print size.

    You may need to crop photos to the size you want
    print to ensure that no clipping will occur. Cropping
    to a different aspect ratio will lose some parts of the picture but
    at least you have control over it.

    Windows Live Photo Gallery is a cropping tool.

    No, you can use more applications as external editors are.  Which now works are extensions of photo editing app.  If an application provides an extension of photo editing, you can call it the control panel of the Photo, for instance affinity Photos provides extensions of app, but not (yet) PhotoShop Elements.
