Pixel Dimensions after Cropping with "Use Photo Ratio"

Why don't Pixel Dimensions (and Document Size) change for Image Size after cropping with "Use Photo Ratio" like it does after cropping with "No Restriction"? Using Photoshop Elements 10 and Crop Tool defaults.

Thank you all. I think I figured out how to crop using "Use Photo Ratio"
with Crop tool so that I can ensure that my photos are cropped only
proportionately and PSE 10 doesn't upsample pixels:
1) Select Crop tool.
2) Set "Use Photo Ratio" in Aspect Ratio setting in Options bar if not
already set.
3) Make crop selection as usual but don't complete (commit) crop. Will
only be able to crop proportionately.
4) When ready to complete crop, change Aspect Ratio setting to "No
Restriction" which blanks out width, height and resolution setting.
5) Complete (commit) crop as usual.
Photo will be cropped proportionately, width and height will change
automatically to cropped size and pixels will not be upsampled avoiding
lose of detail, that is, PSE will behave as though No Restriction had been
specified from the outset. Blanking width and height before making crop
selection forces either Custom or No Restriction setting which means that
PSE will let me make non-proportional crop.
PS. IMHO I think making "Use Photo Ratio" force upsampling is NOT a good
"design feature" when you are not warned about it and are not given a
choice to not make it upsample.

Cropping: "Use Photo Ratio"

In Elements 5 there was the most excellent "Use Photo Ratio" feature when cropping. In PS 5.5, is there a way to make that happen? Can it be created as a "New Tool Preset"? I find it very disappointing that it's not included in what's supposed to be the latest & greatest version.
Thanks

With Photoshop there are many ways to crop. Be carefull with the crop tool not only an you crop you can also resample and straighten. You can also crop with the Rectangle marquee tool fillowed by image crop. You can also set the Rectangle Marquee tool to Fixed Ratio mode and set the aspect ratio. Croping and straighten can also be done in ACR with a selected aspect ratio. Ratios like 1:1, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7 and 9:16 HDTV aspect ratio. Photoshop has powerful automation and you can crop with both Actions and Scripts.
To crop manually using the documents current aspect ratio can be done quite easily. Use the shortcut Ctrl+A to select all the will give you a selection with the correct aspect ratio. Follow that with a menu Select>Transform Selection. Now I do not know how much You know about Transform. There are modifyer keys that you can use with its bounding box. CTRL, Alt and Shift. I write about two Shift and Alt. Shift will constrain any change in size to the selection to matain its current Aspect Ratio the Current Aspect Ratio. Hold the Shift down and drag in a cornor. The Alt key cause the Transform to be from the center or from the point you moved the transform center indicator to. You can drag the point about. Be sure also to hold down the Shift key at the same time you hold the Alt key to constrain the Transform aspect ratio. Be careful not to rotate the Transform for Image Crop does not support straighten and the crop will be to the bounds of the rotated selection. If you move the mouse cursor inside the selection not on the center indicator you can drag and reposition the selection. When you have the crop you want selected use menu Image>Crop.

Pixel Dimensions of Cropped Photo

I cropped a photo and placed it into a Photoshop elements file, along with other shapes and text. I would now like to swap out that photo with a different one of exactly the same size and proportion. Where can I see the exact pixel dimensions of that cropped photo?

In Editor, go to Edit>preferences>units and rulers. Next to rulers in the dropdown, select pixels
On the program's top tool bar, go to Window and check info in order to access the info palette
Next, access the rectangular marquee tool, and in the tool's option bar select mode:normal
Trace the picture inside the frame with the rectangular marquee and read the pixel dimensions.
HTH.

Show pixel dimensions when cropping

The current crop tool allows one to specify the aspect ratio of a crop. It would be useful (to me, at least) to have a display of the actual pixel dimensions of the resulting crop. I can guess by eye, but sometimes I want to be sure that I do not go below some size.

Yeah, there are LOTS of ways the Crop Tool could be improved, but here it is almost 2011 and LR3+ and nothing has changed since users started complaining back in 2007.
You'll notice that this was from very few users (1, in this thread). Most people just don't find a need for this.
Cropping while zoomed in is a much more popular request.

IPhone 5 hotter than Venus and dreadful battery life after beginning to use photo streams?

You may be able to tell from the title i have an issue.
Set up the photo stream today after my bro in law shared pictures. Phone immediately heated up to ridiculous levels and my battery life has been dreadful.
I've had the phone since start of June and had good battery life and no issues with heat, done the ios7 update last week (with no problems) so I reckon the issue is with the photo stream feature but I'm no tech wizard.
I've done a few searches for an answer but not found anything.
Any help would be great
Cheers
Stevie

i am having same problem lately with my Iphone 5 and IOS7. I see my phone gets very hot when using the camera (or the gps apps). but even when I turn the camera off as well as GPS, the drainage is growing and when it gets to 24% it shuts down !!!! dead, I connected to the usb cable and it started but showed 0%.... very frustrating indeed !!!! would I be experiencing same issues with the new 5S I ordered already ??
I see your comment about the "photo stream" - it sounds potential problem - I wonder if any other colleagues will bring this up as well ?!
I turned off the Photo Sharing - will see if it's better, I did not want to turn off the Photo Stream becasue I did npt want to lose all my stored photos in te Icloud.
is there something wrong with the camera ??

Show pixel dimensions during crop

Good Morning,
I need to be able to see the pixel dimensions while I'm cropping. I clicked on the "Info" pallet and it shows this in inches, however, I didn't see how to change it to pixels. For some website work I need to set images to specific pixel sizes and yet be able to move around the image to crop where I need at these dimensions.
I also did a search here and in PS help - nothing found.
Thanks for your help,
Captain 1854

Set the Mouse co-ordinates to pixels in the drop-down menu in the Info palette.

HELP!!??? Trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing grainy and pixelated images after being imported using PS Bridge and Camera-Raw 8.5

Help!??? I am having trouble with PS CS-6 displaying/ producing/ saving grainy pictures when import NEF files!!!
Hi all,
When I import all NEF or RAW files into CS6 from Bridge and Camera Raw from the Nikon D200 and D5000, they become grainy/ pixelated. However, RAW files from the D800 did not have problem. I set the Color Space in my Nikons to AdobeRGB, in PS Camera Raw 8.5 to AdobeRGB, in PS CS-6 ColorSpace to AdobeRGB, and Save As Jpeg with Max quality (12). When comparing between CS-6 produced file and the original, I can see a big drop in quality and the picture become grainy and pixelated. What can I do to make this right? Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you!
HN

Can you show us a screen-shot of the raw in Camera Raw that shows this noise, or if you only see it in the saved JPG, then show us a side-by-side of the raw in Camera Raw and the JPG? Show the same area of the photo and zoom to 100%.
It is normal for raw photos to have grain but you can mostly remove it with the Luminance Noise-Reduction sliders in the Detail tab of Camera Raw.
The amount of grain depends on the ISO sensitivity setting on the camera.

Help with using photos for web

I would like to use some photos I have stored in iphoto library, but I need to reduce them. Reading the help guide, it is indicate to export to web page. But in that case it opens automatically a new web page. How can I export to a page that I have already created?
Moreover what I do not understand is how can I reduce the dimension of the photo without changing the quality? This can be done in iphoto with export?
I am a little bit confused...
thanks for help

Yep you have answered your own question.
Choose export, file export and click the scale images option, and original options (assuming they are already jpegs).
(As you say exporting as webpage creates the page for you but can create images in two sizes (thumnails and main) which can be helpful. The downside the that the filenames for the images as numeric. 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc.)
While a longer process and with no direct control over file size and quality I prefer the file export option as above. It preserves filenames and quality is fine.
and do choose 'original' as you should avoid re-saving a jpeg as a jpeg (that causes a quality reduction)
You will need to manually bring the images into your web pages (save the exported images into your site folder and bring each one into your page individually) unless you are very clever with filenaming!
Hope this helps.

IOS7 Issue with Using Photos as Wallpaper

I've tried to use my own photos for wallpaper as I had done with the iOS6.1.4. I am unable to "resize" the photos down so they fit in the screen. Any tips? Thanks!

If you have access to a photo editing program like photoshop, resize the photos there, making them 2048 x 2048 and they should work for your wallpaper

Pixel dimensions / file size

I am trying to publish a photo to a website with specific limits for pictures. How can I adjust pixel dimensions and file size using iphoto?

Hi wrigjef: Try this: iPhoto open, select the picture(s) you wish to work with, from the "File" menu, select Export. The resultant dialog box will give you several options for pixel dimension, file size etc. After files have been saved to the specified location they can be then up-loaded to the website.
Hope this helps

What Is The Best Image Pixel Dimensions For iPad 2 Photographs?

I just purchased an iPad 2 64Gb. I want to add photographs to my iPad. I want the photographs to completely fill the screen but still be small enough to use the minimum amount of memory space. A smaller image size will also make them more responsive when navigating between images.
Does anyone know the image pixel dimensions that I should use to have the photographs completely fill the iPad screen? I am assuming a resolution of 72 pixels per inch is sufficient because the screen is essentially a video screen.
Thanks!
Bill

1024-by-768 is the size of the screen.

Enlarging photos after rotating with the crop tool

Hi,
I will try a second attempt for my wish to add a feature to the crop tool:
I like the cropping tool in lightroom, but there is one feature I miss:
Sometimes I have this situation:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellersiek/2633499034
Knowing, that in most situations the limiting cropping is ok, I wish to have an option to enlarge the resulting image like this way:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellersiek/2632678737
It is okay, if there is an option in the preferences with the ablility to select a color for the "new" pixels and the crop tool will only enlarge the picture while pressing the control key (to avoid undesirable results).
You can say: "take the right picture, move your camera", but in such photo sessions we have some good reasons to take the pictures in this way.
With greatings from germany
Ralf

Of cause, after enlarging by Lightroom, I have to do something with the new area/pixels by hand. By the way, I only wish new pixels in a, in the settings definable, color - no "intelligent" enlarging.
In the session of the shown example we took 50 product pictures. In 45 pictures are the products inside enough for the cropping tool. We need a fix rotate angle for all the picture so we use sync settings to transfer all settings (white balancing, color, light, rotate, crop). 5 pictures we cropped to much, so we have to rotate in later in photoshop - this breaked the workflow.
I like Lightroom very much, because it is much faster than Photoshop, non destruktive and it is easy and fast to repeate the processing if you need to change some parameters. So I which to do the most steps in Lightroom and only those steps, for which lightroom is not designed, I will done with Photoshop.
I miss the enlarging also in other situations (like architectual or landscape photos). Sure I have to do some steps later by hand but I was able to the most steps in Lighroom in a single workflow with a single setting.

Ralf
PS.: I'm not a native english speaker: What do you mean with "How is it supposed to make a judgement call about how to create the new pixels"?

Custom cropping using pixel dimension

The banner image module for my website requires images cropped to 940 x 400 pixels. When I use the Custom cropping function in PSE 12 (on a Mac OSX 10.9.2), it only shows a cm dimension. Can I do a custom crop using a pixel dimension?

You should just be able to type 940 px and 400 px in the width and height fields
Another way is to use the Rectangular Marquee Tool and use Aspect>Fixed Size then enter 940 px X 400 px

Would a photo with 70MB in pixel dimensions but low resolution print clearly?

Hi there,
Here is a snapshot of the image size window:
Is it true that if pixel dimension is very large in size than the resolution number under document size doesn't matter ?
I really woudl appreciate your help in telling me if my photo will print clearely choosing the belwo document size.
Many thanks!

This is the easiest way for you to get an acurate idea of what your image will look like printed...
1) Create a new document the size it will be printed and set the resolution to 300dpi (pixels/inch). (Due to the size you are going for I suggest using RGB instead of CMYK)
2) Open the file you created and (using the 'Move' tool) drag it onto the newly created document.
3) Zoom in to 100% and what you see is what you get when printed.
The distance the print will be viewed from is important however, for example, if it's a billboard the viewer is pretty far so the quality is pretty forgiving and a resolution of 200dpi should work.
Feel free to hit me up and send me one of the pictures and I will give you an acurate judgement on how they will look printed at that size.

Aperture changing pixel size after using Retouch/Repair/Clone tool?

I apologize if this is a stupid question - I'm new to using Aperture and have a rudimentary knowledge (at best) about the mechanics of Aperture.
I use the retouch tool on a portion of my photo, and the pixel size is reduced. I want to maintain the original 12.0megapixels. How do I work with the photo without changing the pixel size - or, how can I restore the orginal pixel size after editing the photo?
I've also cropped the photo, constraining the aspect ratio at 4:5.
Here is the file info before I start working with it:
And after using the retouch, this happens:

Frank Caggiano wrote:
Again this is not normal Aperture behavior, this doesn;t occur on my system. If you could post the screen shot of the adjustments it might help.
Sure - Here is a sample image. It is not a RAW file. It appears to be happening in every image in the library. I made a new library and it appears to be happening in the same pattern. I'm in Aperture, opened a photo which was imported directly into Aperture from camera.
Now, I'm going to crop to 4:5 ratio - from what I'm hearing, crop should not effect the 12.0 mp?
Notice how the MP is now 10.6?
Now, I'll apply auto enhance:
In this case, it looks like cropping does effect the pixel size. It's a different image from what I was using before.
Now, I use the retouch tool:
The MPs are now 9.7 - it keeps getting smaller and smaller!
When you crop, is it normal for the MPs to reduce?
Thanks so much for your help, I'm so frustrated.
