How do I resize an image by pixels instead of by inches?

Hi all!
I just bought Elements 10 for Mac. I want to resize images to a certain number of pixels wide/high but I don't see how to do that. The Resize option is showing the image sizes in inches. There is not a pixel option in the drop down list.
Thanks in advance!

When you go to Image>Resize>Image Size, you will need to turn on Resample Image to make the pixels area in the window active so that you can change it.

Resizing an Image using pixels

Hi I used to use Photoshop CS4 on another computer. I resize a lot of my images to 1024 pixel width. Howver in Photoshop Elements 7 (which I have just bought) and I can't find out how to resize the image using pixels as the units. I am doing 'Image Resize' It has a lot of units to choose from e.g. inches/picas/points. But no pixels. Please help! Thank you very much.

The top section is pixels. Turn on Resample Image and you can make changes there.

Resizing images in pixels instead of inches?

How do I set the software of Elements 10 to resize images in pixels instead of inches?

By going to Preferences. This is done by doing:
Edit >> Preferences
And look for something like this:
As you can see from the picture, it is under Units and Rulers. Perhaps you can tell us what exactly are you trying to do? For print, inches and cms are very common, For screen and web pixels is very useful. For documents, points is useful; but this is just a "rule of thumb" and people use it interchangeably these days because they have got used to different unit types.

How can I resize my image to be smaller?

You asked about changing the file size
To change the size in Pixels, you use the options at Size in the export dialogue

How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

I think others would be able to help if you describe a little more why you'd like to do this. Given that drop zones are a way of passing images into Motion that you want to manipulate, resizing a drop zone is the equivalent of resizing the image.
If you're having a problem with an image from Final Cut being too big or too small, select the Drop Zone in the inspector and make sure the Fit parameter is set to 'Fit' - 'Center' will result in images dropped not being scaled to fit the Drop Zone. 'Stretch' will force the dropped image to fill the space defined by the drop zone,
If the image is already cropped and scaled up in Final Cut Pro, that is the information that Motion gets - you can't scale down the image to see more of the edges that have been cropped off.
If you want more than one copy of the image passed via the drop zone, use Make Clone Layer from the Object menu.

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

Hi Peru Bob,
I've tried two images, the results were:
Image 1
Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
Image 2
Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into. Image is too small. How do I resize the image while in the template? Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times. The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small. Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........? I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
Thanks!

Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template". But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:

If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

How do I resize an image in Lightroom?

Hi everyone, was wondering if someone can help me as am trying to resize and image in lightroom and cannot find where to do it.. please help. thanks alexandra

The Alamy upsizing is nonsense but you can actually use Lightroom export. You only have to use differnet numbers (presets) for different aspect ratios. These are the rough numbers for the aspect ratios I use:
Assuming they want 16x2^20 (16.777.216) pixels rather than 16x10^6 (16.000.000) pixels, the image dimension to upsize with LR are the following:
Aspect ratio 2:3 (portrait or landscape)
~ 5017 x 5017 pixels
Aspect ratio 1:1 (square)
~ 4096 x 4096 pixels
Aspect ratio 16:9 (portrait or landscape)
~ 5462 x 5462 pixels
Aspect ratio 4:3 (portrait or landscape)
~ 4730 x 4730 pixels
You can store those in presets, use sort to sort the images by aspect ratio and export one set after the other with different presets.

How do I resize an image w/out skewing?

Im creating an app and have to resize a single image to fit for android, iphone,ipad,ipad 2...all different dimensions. I resize my images but they are distorted or look fuzzy? PLEASE HELP

The first thing you need to understand is devices like android device, iPhone and iPads have displays with different Aspect Ratios and different amount of pixels. If you want your images to display full screen on these devices without any boarders or distortion the image being displayed must have the same aspect ratio as the device's screen. The iPhone and iPod have a 3:2 aspect ratio display, iPad1 and iPad2 have a 4:3 aspect ratio display and many android devices have a 16:10 (8:5) aspect ratio display. If you want no borders not only do you need to resize your images you need to crop your images to match your devices aspect ratios. In fact different crops are more inportant then resizing for all your devices can scale images to fit their displays. If an image has a different aspect ration then the display the image will be displayed with borders or will be distorted or be displayed virtually cropped depending on the applet or OS displaying the image.

How do I resize an image without stretching it?

I have an image of approx. 1000x1000px... I need to make the image 500x200. Everytime I try to resize the image it comes out looking "stretched". Is there any way of resizing or shrinking the image in photoshop without distorting the image?
Thanks!

Going from a 1:1 square aspect ratio to a 5:2 aspect ratio is quite a change in aspect ratio with out distortion at all you would need to crop off 60% the image or add canvas. If you look at it this way you get a better understanding
Downsize the image from 1000x1000px to 500x500px and there will be no distortion now cut that image into two peices one 500x200 pixels leave 500x300 its a 40% 60% split
The other way is Downsize the image from 1000x1000px to 200x200px there will be no distortion now add canvas to make the image 500x200pxb you will have what you want no distortion your whole image with a 300x200 side border

Hi
   I got a reference for the same question from Stack Overflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14726485/resize-an-image-resource-in-cq5/16728970#16728 970
I tried the same method
Resource resourceNew = resource.getResourceResolver().getResource(img.getFileReference());
    Asset asset = resourceNew.adaptTo(Asset.class);
    log.error("asset ****" + asset);
    Layer layer = new Layer(asset.getOriginal().getStream());
    layer.resize(200, 200);
    log.error("layer ****" + layer);
                        Image image = new Image(resource);
    String mimeType = image.getMimeType();
    ByteArrayOutputStream bout = null;
    ByteArrayInputStream bin = null;
    try {
        bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream(2048);
        layer.write(mimeType, 1, bout);
        bin = new ByteArrayInputStream(bout.toByteArray());
        asset.addRendition("resizedImage", bin, mimeType);
log.error("asset Bin" + asset);
    } finally {
        // close streams ...
Where img is my Image object and I was able to create a rendition in the dam.
But the rendition I am getting is in File format. Is there a way by which i can change it to png format??? any Help will be appreciable..
Thanks

How can I resize an image in the header?

I have uploaded my organization's logo into our document, but it is out of proportion to the rest of the document. I've delted it and uploaded smaller versions of the logo and it is still too big. How can I format the image in the header so that it is more reasonably sized?

Thanks. The triangle was buried in the image. If you hadn’t told me where to look, I would never have found it!
