Crop jpg file to specific pixel size?

I know how to crop images but want to be able to view the resulting pixel measurements (ie, 1600 c 1200 pixels). I appreciate any help! Many thanks.

I have PSEv.8. I can right click on the rulers, select "pixels" in the menu.
Now the readout on the rulers is in pixels, and the readout at the bottom of the picture as well.
Does that do it for you?

  • Exporting Versions to a specific pixel size

    I want to export files for a slideshow that requires a pixel size of 1900 x 1200 , can it be done in Aperture ? , I have tried modifying the export preset , it does not work with (Fit Within ) is there another way ?
    Thanks
    Ray

    Trythis,
    What exactly is failing?
    Your 1900x1200 size is a very strange size. That's not the 3:2 aspect ratio of an SLR or the 4:3 aspect ratio of point-and-shoot cameras. Also, Aperture will not enlarge pictures by choosing "fit within", since a smaller picture already "fits within". I.e., if you have a 640x480 picture, that already "fits within" 1900 pixels so Aperture will not make it bigger.
    Also, Aperture will not crop your pictures on export. You may have to crop each picture first so that it has a 19:12 aspect ratio, and then "fit within" 1900 pixels. If the aspect ratio of a picture is 19:12 and the picture is larger than 1900 pixels, Aperture should properly reduce the size to 1900x1200, based on the aspect ratio.

  • Specific pixel size & dpi

    Is it possible to set specific a combination of size (in pxls) and dpi?  (in Illustrator CS5)
    I need to create a .png document which is 16x16 px and 96dpi.   The ability to chose the dpi size when setting up a new doc is very limited.  
    The only thing I've managed to do is create a 19x19 px 72dpi image, export  it "for web" and then take it into photoshop and change the dpi to 96.
    Is there a better, easier way?    Also, we're considering upgrading to CS6 - are these features better in CS6?

    Bidds,  you are confusing DPI (Dots Per Inch) with PPI  (Pixels Per Inch).
    DPI is a technical specification of the output or input of hardware devices like a printer when you print, monitor when you display your digital image, scanner when you scan to make digital images, and etc. For printers DPI specifies the size of the ink drops when printing. For monitors, DPI specifies the monitor's resolution or in other words the size of the monitor's pixels. The term DPI for monitors came from the use of the CRT displays (those heavy monitors and TVs in the past with big tubes) which are no longer in production. These displays used guns to shoot light at the back of the screen with variable size dots and the term DPI perfectly described the monitor resolution used. Today there is only LCD displays on the market and thy use fixed cells which define the monitor resolution. Because the cells are fixed, for describing the resolution of LCD monitors, people mostly use the term Pixels Per Inch when they want to describe the size of monitors' pixels (cells). And this can cause some confusion that you are experiencing.
    PPI is an attribute of a digital raster image. It specifies the output resolution of a raster image or in other words how large the pixels in the digital file will be output.
    In Photoshop you are setting PPI not DPI.
    Illustrator is a vector program. Vector graphics are resolution independent (have no pixels) and don't have PPI attributes. The PPI attributes are valid only when creating a raster image for outputting to devices like printers. Printers can print the pixels of your digital image with different size, and thus the image with the same number of pixels can be printed with different sizes. Monitors however don't use PPI settings of digital files to display images, instead they use the zoom level specified by the user using software, and by default the software programs (your browser for example) use 100% zoom which fits one image pixel to one monitor pixel. Because different monitors have monitor pixels (cells) with different sizes that cannot be changed on LCD screens, a digital image with the same number of pixels will be displayed at different size at the default 100% zoom on different monitors. Also have in mind that certain elements  like software interfaces cannot be zoomed (changed) by the user.
    So, the DPI mentioned in the link you provided does not mean PPI and it doesn't suggest in anyway that you should set PPI in Photoshop or any other program when creating images for the web. You got that wrong. It is only telling you that monitors with higher resolution (DPI) will display your image smaller so, you may want to make the image larger (with more pixels) and vice versa. The PPI settings in a raster image are simply ignored for display on monitors and thus on the web. That's why you don't have an option for PPI in Save for Web and devices. Whether an image with a certain number of pixels is 72, 96, 300, 1 million or 1 PPI (pixels per inch) this will not make any difference when displayed on the web.

  • Help with creating an action - anto fit an image in a specific pixel size

    I am trying to create an action that takes the image in question and fits it with a specific pixel dimension. Some of the images are more horizontal in orientaion (like a school bus) and some are more on the vertical end (Like a tall building) They all need to be fit within a canvas size of 260 px x 196px. They need to keep the images original aspect ratio. Is there a way to do this with a single action, or do I need to create an action for vertical oriented images and one for horizontal orientated images?
    I hope that makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Dean

    Photoshop also ships with a plugin to do that. In CS5 Adobe added an option to it to not resize images if they fit.  If you do not use that option small images will be resize up in size like the image processor script.  There was a bug in that option I do not know if Adobe fixed that bug yet they may have.  If not it easy to fix if you know a little javascript. The plug-in was changed from a compiled plug-in in CS2 and earlier to a Photoshop Script in CS3 when Adpbe added plugin support into the Photoshop Scripting feature. The plugin has built in action support so you can use it in an action. When the Action is played back no dialog will be displayed the values use while recording the action were recorded into the action step by the plugin and will be used unless you make the action interactive by turning on the steps dialog. The image processor script is not a plug-in so it can not be automated.
    The plugin is menu File>Automate>Fit Image.......

  • Cropping reduces file to 3 pixels

    I have CS4 and have been unable to use the crop tool occasionally these past couple of weeks. I double-click to crop and it reduces my entire file to 3 pixels! Also, I'm not able to finesse the airbrush anymore.

    Check the options bar for the crop tool -- you forgot about some settings you entered (like fixed size and resolution).

  • Why are .jpg files with text pixelated when projecting through Keynote?

    I have a police report that I'm trying to project through Keynote as part of a larger presentation.  It projects beautifully if I just mirror the screen, but for purposes of the presentation I have to use Keynote and can't switch back and forth.  The text is so pixelated it's unusable and I've tried scanning at high resolution, but no luck.  I'm confused about it projecting fine when not going through Keynote, so I feel like there's maybe a setting in the software I'm missing.
    Any ideas?

    The text is so pixelated it's unusable
    The resolution of the projector will be much lower than the display connected to the Mac.
    Therefore, with the projector connected and powered on, open System Preferences > Displays, in the settings window for the projector,  select scaled option and set to the highest pixel size listed.
    I've tried scanning at high resolution, but no luck.
    You have scanned a paper document?
    Then scan to at least 1200 x 800 pixels, do not use a dpi or ppi setting in the scan software, use pixels, then save as a TIFF file.
    I'm confused about it projecting fine when not going through Keynote, so I feel like there's maybe a setting in the software I'm missing.
    Set the slide size in:   Inspector > Document > Document > Slide Size; use custom from the drop down menu and enter 1280 x 800
    The inspector is the side panel on the right hand side

  • Why do my images and layered files 'shrink' in pixel size when 'saving as/saving for web'?

    I'm using CS3 and when I "Save As" or "Save For Web" to a format like .jpg for example, the resulting .jpg is reduced in size considerably.
    For example I was touching up a photograph that was 1300 x 700. I saved out the file for web to my desktop and emailed it to a friend. When my friend opened it, it had shrunk down to about 75% of the original 1300 x 700 size. I have the same problem when saving out layered .psd's, which lead me to believe it had something to do with my save settings. I've scoured the net for answers as well as gone through each setting, but have not been able to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer in solving this annoying problem!
    Jason

    Jeffrey, I checked the UI dialog and it's set to 'original'.
    Marian, this problem occurs whether I email the file or not.
    Thanks for the responses guys, but the problem continues. Any other thoughts? Remember this happens under both 'Save As' and 'Save for Web' actions.

  • Resize to specific pixel size??

    I have photographs that need to be resized to 676 x 138 pixels exactly. I have tried just resizing them as normal but they go out of focus. I have also tried cropping them first, and then resizing, but I end up with white space down each side. Can anyone help?

    Just to add what 99join said , you can also use the Image Size dialog box to do the same. Just follow the following steps .
    1. Press  shortcut "ALT+ Ctrl+I" or go to Image>Size>Resize to open the Image Size dialog box.
    2.  Select "Resample Image" and "Scale Styles".
    3. Now enter the values 676 x 138 into the width and height textboxes and press "OK".
    Thanks,

  • How to read binary files wrt specific BYTE size and length??

    Hello Everyone,
                                I have a project I want to accomplish. I have a binary file, and I would like to read the data and print on wfm in a specific order and size.
    The data is 16 bit binary type , and needs to be read in chunks of 2 bytes.
    i have 30 bytes of sample 1.
    followed by 2 bytes of sample 2.
    followed by another 2 bytes of sample 3.
    steps 2-4 should be repeated 10 times and then i should read sample 4 which is of 2 bytes.....
    How should I do it?? I don't have any VI build... all i have is the example VI...
    can anyone pleasehelp me???
    Now on LabVIEW 10.0 on Win7

    smercurio_fc, sorry for the confusion, i will try my best to explain...
    1. No, i don;t have to read the file again, once it has read, I used
    while loop just to see the data updating (i press run, and before i can
    visualize i have the waveforms; i can get rid of the while loop)
    2. I have 30 different values of 1 sample. actually, the data is cmg
    from tri-axial accelerometer; each axis is of 10 bytes(hence 3*10 =
    30bytes)
    3. I am repeating the steps 2-4 10 times because the data was written
    into the binary file after 10 times sampling the sensors(if first 3
    samples are read @ 1000hz, sample 4 was read at 1000/10 = 100hz)
    4. I am using the graphs to interpret the values, that's it. The
    values are already scaled when they were wrote to the binary file, I
    have to simply interpret it.
    I have made some changes in the VI, now i am reading only the first
    30bytes, that too, in chunks of 10-10-10 bytes, and plotting the 3
    samples simultaneously on a waveform chart. (will approach 1
    sensor/sample at a time) and running the loop for 10 times. I have changed I8 to I16 now.
    Please let me know if it makes sense to you now.
    P.S. each sample is a sensor data.

  • My crop tool in CS5 does not give the option to crop by pixel size

    How do I get the crop tool to give me the option of cropping by specific pixel size.  Nothing appears in the dropdown menu except standard crop sizes in inches.

    Have you tried entering the numbers with the suffix "px" in the entry fields?

  • Cropping while maintaining pixel size

    Just got LR5 - wish it was as intuitive as PSE.  A few initial questions:
    1) When I crop in LR, I see no way to maintain the original pixel size as is easily done in PSE.  Is it not possible?
    2) When I select "Help" or press F1 in LR, I get LR Help, however the Search feature doesn't list LR as one of the Product selections in the dropdown box.  I did register LR.
    3) When you make an adjustment in LR, isn't there a way to Undo it?  I thought you might be able to delete it from the history.
    4) What is the best free source for learning LR, preferably video.  I did see the ones by J. Kost on the Adobe TV website, but they weren't very detailed/complete.
    Thanks.

    Thanks dj.  A couple of follow-ups on your responses then I'll mark it as correct:
    1) So when I crop in PSE with the pixel size set at the size of the original, that is not really buying anything?  I don't think it does a resample, just decreases the Document Size by a corresponding amount.  There is no advantage as far as photo quality or anything else to keeping the pixel dimensions at the larger size (of the original)?
    3) When you "undo" by double-clicking on the name of the slider, is this a true undo (i.e. the history item is deleted) or does it just create another history item that offsets the original adjustment?
    And a couple of other items on recommended ways to do things:
    - Would you recommend when making adjustments to show both the before and after in the panel to see how it is changed?
    - Do you personally use shortcuts all the time?  From watching videos from J. Kost and some other guy whose name I don't recall, they both seem obsessed, to the point that it is annoying, with using shortcut keys.  There are so many of them that I don't see how it is a shortcut if you have to look them up.
    Thanks dj.

  • Why does the Pixel size of a jpeg change on a different computer?

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.8.2 and Adobe Illustrator CS6.
    When i save a file "for web" as a jpeg with a specific pixel size (320x50 for example) and then send it by email to someone, when they open it the dimensions somehow change.
    Even though on my mac when i "get info" from the jpeg the dimensions are correct...
    Please how can i stop this from happening?
    Thanks!

    DId you check clip to artboard when yo made the jpeg, did your image size shwo the correct dimensions.
    If you are checking the file on your end and it is correct, then we need to know more about what is going on at the recipeient's end and how they are determining the size is wrong.

  • How can I cut a picture to a desired pixel size quickly?

    How can I cut a picture to a desired pixel size quickly? e.g. 600x600 pixel? I know the "cut" tool, but how can I cut it quickly to that exact size without having to cut and cut, is there a tool for cutting to a specific pixel size?
    THANKs

    Your "cheap" version of Photoshop is not Photoshop proper at all, nor was it just cheap.  It was actually a freebie, given away for free with some scanners and certain cameras.  It is as old as the hills, totally obsolete and unsupported.
    We don't normally deal with that here in the Photoshop forum and I doubt many users here will be familiar with Photoshop 5.0 L.E.
    Personally, I only have a faint recollection of having received bundled with my first scanner, and cannot honestly at this point tell you what it supported and what it did not.
    Sorry.

    The video would have whatever size it is encoded as, and then the player could display that at whatever size it desired.

  • How to reduce jpg file size, not pixel dimensions?

    I am preparing images for the web and I really have 2 questions: one about gifs, and one about jpgs.
    My standard procedure is to reduce the image to the desired pixel dimensions at 600 dpi
    That gives me a crisp small image. then I either use it as is if the file size is low enough (I try for under 600 kb) or convert it to a gif with the save for web and devices tool.
    So here are my 2 questions (I will count this solved with either answer)
    1) When I convert to a gif I have the 4 boxes: one with original size, the other 3 with options but often the options are too low res for me How do I change my 3 options to start at a higher gif res?
    2) If I try to reduce the file size of the jpg in the image size box I set the resolution lower ( 400, 300), which lowers the pixel dimensions and the filesize, but I don't want to cahnge the pixel dimensions. And  If I reset the pixel dimensions back to the size I want them, even though it is a lower resolution the file size doesn't change. How to reduce jpg file size using only the resolution, not pixel dimensions?  PS I have tried messing with checking and unchecking the 3 little boxes( scale styles, constrain proportions, and resample) but nothing has worked.

    Gif is not a great filetype, especially if you want a crisp image. What are your pixel dimensions?
    For web, it makes no difference what the dpi is, only the final pixel dimensions so once you have that as you want, use 'Save for Web and Devices' and you can lower the quality - 100% being max and 0% being lowest. I wouldn't save anything below 55%. For a 600kb image, your dimensions must be rather big.
