How to change document dimensions and scale image proportionally?

Hi there,
I've created over a hundred files in Photoshop for placement in a book I'm making with software provided by the printer that uses templates of set sizes. My big mistake was to make all the files in Photoshop at A4 size (21cm X 29.7cm) whereas the template page size is 8 x 10 inches. (I know, really dumb on my part not to double-check this vital statistic!).
If I change the document dimensions via Image > Canvas Size, the images (which are all printed articles, not photos) are cropped, which is useless.
Rather than create 100 new files using the correct page setup dimensions, changing the image dimensions in the old file, copying and pasting it into the new (10" x 8") file, can anyone suggest a simpler way? I don't mind doing this manually, but ideally I'll be able to do it in the existing file rather than creating a new one.
Many thanks in advance,
Andrew

Hi Mike,
Thank you very much for this. I am a novice at certain things in Photoshop and making actions is one of them. However, I will learn how to do it as I can see it will make my life easier.
I'm confused by one thing. The other answer to my question (see thread) says to turn Resample Image "off". You say to turn it on. Which is it? I didn't really understand the other advice or the terminology (e.g interpolate).
Many thanks again,
Andrew

    Experiment. No harm in trying.
    If you are just starting to use Pages you need to make your own assessment given current events whether committing your work to a format and software given this support is a wise move.
    You also need to look at what will produce workable results. Particularly if your large posters are to be commercially printed and contain large bitmap (photographic) images.
    Always work backwards from your output. Ask your printer what they require to do their job.

  • How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change it

    How do I change the dimensions of an image? The Image Size dialog box will not allow me to change dimensions.  I am taking an online class and the Image Size dialog box looks different than the one I am seeing in Photoshop CC.  It has the option to change the dimensions.

    When you say chage the dimentions, do you mean crop the image and adjust the size of the image at the same time, or do you mean you want to just resize the image?  Can you post a screen shot of what you're trying to do?

  • How to export an album and keep images in the same order in elements 11 mac

    I made an album of my trip to Australia (lots of pictures) and changed the order of the images (not the same as shooting order) and when I export the images in the album to a folder or memorystick, the images are copied to that place but I lost the album order of the images.
    How can I prevent that, without having to renumber al 500 images separatly?

    Thanks for the tip, Michel
    It worked like a charm…

    The order in album is only kept in the organizer database, so the only way not to lose that order is to rename files.
    If you are using the 'export' function, select your album in custom order, select all photos and in the dialog, choose to rename with a common base name.

    If your intention is just changing the content you are passing to bpel/returning from bpel

    Hi Rohan
    It does not work this way. You have to use a content editor webpart.

  • In SAP 4.6c In classical reports output how to change Font size and Font type

    Dear Experts,
    In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports  output how to change font size and font type.
    Regards,
    Zaker.

    These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
    With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
    With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
    Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

  • What size (dimensions and ppi) images sould I make so they fit into the 9 x 11.25 ibook?

    What size (dimensions and ppi) images sould I make in Photo Shop so they fit into the 9 x 11.25 ibook? (I am a professional photographer who captures in RAW).
    I have sent a number of sizes to iPhoto for use in an iBook and they all are too big for the software so I get cropped images even when zoom slider is at it's smallest.
    This is very frustrating. I am on a dealine. Please help.
    John

    Is your question about a printed book? If so, you likely want to redirect your question to either the iPhoto or Apertuare forums, depending on the software you'll be using to submit your book for printing to Apple.
    This forum is actually focussed on the iBooks application for reading (and creating) electronic books for Apple's iOS devices such as the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
    Good luck!
