How to resize a photo to inches, 6 x 4?

Earlier I posted the same question and the reply was this can't be done in PE and I have to use crop to resize. I clicked the answer answered my question but was not sure and surprised that PE cannot resize to inches. I searched further and found a video on Youtube that demonstrated that PE will resize to inches. The steps in the video were:
1. Select resize, image.
2. Document size:
Enter 6 for width, 4 for height and 300 for resolution (for printing)
Check Scale Styles, Constrains proportions, Resample image, Bicubic
3. The pixel dimensions automatically changed to 1800 width and 1200 for height.
In the video the above steps worked. In my PE, I followed the same steps but the Document size for width changed to 2.99 after I had entered 6 and the Pixel size for width changed to 897.
First, PE change resize to inches but for some reason my PE 11 changes the width after entering 6.
I hope a PE expert will respond.
Thanks

As I said, you have to crop your image to 6x4 aspect ratio in order to get a 6x4 print with no white borders.
It sounds like you haven't tried this.
If you take an image that is not 6x4 aspect ratio, as is the case with your image, and you do the resize, you will NOT get 6x4, it will give you something else, it will give you an image with the same aspect ratio as the original, as you have seen. Resize cannot get you to a 6x4 aspect ratio if your image is not 6x4 to start (unless you uncheck "constrain proportion" and then you WILL NOT like the results, so don't even bother)

1. Create a BitmapData of the correct size of the full image
2. Use BitmapData.setPixels to create pixel data from your byteArray
3. Make a new Bitmap, Bitmap.bitmapData = BitmapData
4. Create a matrix with the correct scaling factors for your thumbnail
5. Create a new BitmapData the size of your thumb
6. Use BitmapData.draw to draw your image data from the Bitmap to the new BitmapData with the scaling matrix
7. Use BitmapData.getPixels to create a bytearray from your thumb BitmapData
8. save it
You'll have to look up the AS3 reference to see how all these methods work.

?? How to resize in Photo Shop Express

I've been on hold for two 30 minutes sessions to find out how to get out of Photo Shop Express.
All I want to do is resize a picture. It comes up, but I can't figure out how to resize. So, I really want to
get out of Photo Shop Express and go to another product unless someone can help. me.
thanks

Hi Ann
Sorry for the difficulties. In case it's not too late, here are some steps for accessing our online Editor's image resize tool:
1. If you are already a member of Photoshop.com, sign in your account. You can access you account at either www.photoshop.com or http://www.photoshop.com/tools/organizer
2. If you are a member, and have not already uploaded your photo to you online account, please do so. Look for the 'Upload' button at the top right of the Photoshop Express Online Organizer (http://www.photoshop.com/tools/organizer). Select your image, and click the Edit button at the bottom of the Window.
If you are not a member, you can still access our online Editor at this URL: http://www.photoshop.com/tools?wf=editor Just go to this page and upload your photo to begin editing it.
3. Once you have your image open in the Online Editor, find the 'Resize' button on the left next to our other editing tools. Then choose the resize settings you like and click 'Save' when you're done.

How to resize a photo?

Hello Everybody!
I want to resize a photo (change the number of pixels) while I'm browzing through my pictures in iPhoto.
For that I have two questions:
1. Is there a way to resize a photo in iPhoto?
2. If not, how do I set the "Edit in external editor" program when I right click (ctrl-click) a photo? Usually this option is grayed out and I don't know how to make it accessable.
Cheers & Thanks!

This wasn't the question I was looking for, but it's been one I have wished for. When I export the picture and select the new size I then am given a window where I rename the new image and then direct where it should go. The default appears to be where I LAST saved a picture. I would like it to go where the original image is stored (I'm afraid I am still in my PC mode as I've only very recently decided to give Gates the gate!)
I navigate to my iPhoto library and have a choice of Originals, modified, iPod photo cache (woops, not THERE!), and Data. In each of those folders are only dated folders ... hmmm. I see. Wait a sec. Okay, I dig further into 2002 and discover the folder the original is in. I select that. But it doesn't appear in my iPhoto screen. Lemme see... Well, I see. I put it into "DATA/folder/folder." I'll put it into "Original/folder/folder" ... hmm. It says that it's already there and do I want to replace it. Well, if it were there, why don't I see it in my library?
Okay, now just a sec... bear with me. SOrry to go on here but a lot of this is confusing to an old PC head.

then dozens of albums I am currently trying to make from importing 86000 pictures from my PC.
I brought over the entire file structure from the PC onto a folder on my Mac desktop... hmmm. So... maybe I should save the new picture in THAT folder? I'm not sure I'm not COPYING the photo to iPhoto or POINTING iPhoto to that folder.
What was the question I was looking for? That's another of my problems...

I select Print, choose the print settings, print size 4 x 6 inches, image only - don't want a border, then this message appears: the following images will be rendered at less than 220 dpi at the requested size.
Thanks for your help.

You need to crop your image to 6x4. There is no other way to turn it into a 6x4.

How to resize photos in iPhoto?

Hi
I can seem to figure out how to resize my photos so I can send them via email or just make them smaller in general. Any suggestions?

What is your email client? If you use Mail, Eudora, Entourage or AOL then just select the photo you want to email and click on the Mail button. You'll be presented with a menu to choose the size of the file to attach to the email.
If you are using a web based email you'll have to export the files to the Desktop via the File->Export->File Export menu option where you'll be able to set the file size and quality level of the files.
See TD's treatis on file access on ways to access the photos for use outside of iPhoto.
Do you Twango?

How to resize photo to fit screen without loosing proportions?

I am in the process of creating a PowerPoint presentation and it will basically consist of photos, some text and a music background. I want the photos to fill my computer screen, so when I am in Elements 5, I am going to Image menu and then to resize - Image Size, and changing the pixel dimensions here. My monitor is set at 1280 x 1024 pixels and I am trying to resize my photos to 1280 x 1024 so that they will perfectly fill the entire monitor when the PowerPoint presentation is played. The problem is that when I go to resize the photos, I have to leave the Constrain Proportions options unchecked so that I can manually and freely enter the values I want for both the Width and the Height to match my monitor dimensions. When my photo is resized using this method, the proportions get thrown off and the picture looks a little funny. But if I check mark the Constrain Proportions option, then I will only be able to enter a value for one of the dimensions since Elements will automatically figure the other dimension for me. This way the proportions look fine, but the photo may not completely fill the screen the way I would like.
Is there some kind of work-around for this seeming catch-22 type of problem??
Thanks,
Lee

That's great about being able to use px (pixels) as the unit of measurement regarding the cropping tool. I will be playing around with this. Thanks for this great bit of information.
Real quick on my question regarding the original proportion of the photo. I am sorry about the confusion here. In my initial question I had mentioned how I had tried to resize my photo(s) by using the Image - Resize - Image Size command from the main menu and was not able to check the Constrain Proportions option because I needed to enter both values for the Width and Height to match my screen size in pixels. But when I did that, I lost the original proportion of the photo and it looked funny and such. People's faces were thinner and longer than they should have been etc... So when you started talking about using the crop tool to get my photo to the same pixel dimensions as my screen, I am just asking if the photo can maintain its original proportions, or might I be running into the same problem I had before when I was using the Image - Resize command. I am not talking about loosing my original photo, I am making all these changes to a copy of the original photo so my original is protected and safe. Maybe I should be calling it the aspect ratio. I am wondering if after I make these changes with the crop tool, can I also still maintain the original aspect ratio of the photo? Because this was my original problem, I was contorting the photo due to the aspect ratio changing. I hope I am using the right terms here being more clear?

How do I resize a photo in iphoto and keep it in iphoto library

So in windows I can resize a photo and leave it where it is. Why can't I do this in iphoto?

So in windows I can resize a photo and leave it where it is. Why can't I do this in iphoto?
iPhoto - either on your Mac or on IOS devices, is designed as an application with a lossless workflow. All adjustments and edits are guaranteed to be reversible. You will always be able to revert to the original image. And that would be impossible, if iPhoto allowed you to clandestinely exchange the image file in the place where the photo is stored. iPhoto would not know how to undo the changes you did without using iPhoto to do them. If you do not need a digigal assets management program with a lossless workflow, don't use iPhoto - then you'd be better off with something like Picasa.

How does one resize a photo to the dimensions required by a contest?

How does one resize a photo in aperture to the dimensions required by contest?

Are you submitting a print or a file?
You set the size of your print in the print dialog.
You set the number of pixels (the unit of linear measurement of digital images is the pixel) for a file when you create that file by exporting an Image from your Library. You can specify a recommended number of Pixels per Inch by using the (mis-named) DPI field in the Image Export Preset you use when you export.
The files you import have a height and width in pixels. Height/width = the Aspect Ratio. You can crop to any aspect ratio using Aperture's Crop tool.
What are the specs required by the contest's sponsors?

How to resize photos for email

With a web site, do not post high resolution images as the primary view of your products, that makes your site slower to load on lesser broadband connections, and more expensive to view on wireless connections.
For a web site, use lower-resolution and smaller images for the primary view, and use a web content management system that allows for (for instance) clicking on a photo to view a higher-resolution image, and/or a content management system that allows the user to access a higher-resolution gallery of images.
Default display of and mailing of larger and higher-resolution images chews up potentially very expensive data for folks on wireless connections, and usually won't be popular with mass-mailings. Lower-resolution and smaller and even thumbnails with web links to higher-resolution images — which can incidentally also include tracker URLs, even in HTML-based mail — will consume less of the mobile recipient's cash, and will load and view much faster, or will load. (On iOS, large messages will give the user the option to download the rest of a larger message, which means that most of your mail often won't even get viewed.)
Slow loads and large images can result in web connections get abandoned and mailing list clients drop off lists, too. Thumbnails and text and simple HTML are better.
As for "a good size", run some of your own tests on lower-performing network links, and see how well your content management system and your mail works in these situations — you're probably not aiming for customers on dial-up though I still deal with folks that only have that available — but you're definitely not going to want to assume ginormous network bandwidth with your marketing. One megabit per second (1 Mbps) "broadband" links — and slower — are still very common, after all. Also test your HTML with a few different clients, as there are various differences in how (or how well) HTML is rendered in various mail programs — some HTML mail looks like junk in some common clients.
All of this stuff is fairly typical fodder for web and email marketing discussions, and not at all specific to OS X.

How do I resize attached photos in Mail Ver. 7.0

how do I resize attached photos in Mail Ver. 7.0 on iMac

I don't think there's a setting in Mail to make this a default. a ittle searching revealed an app that claims to do it. Attachment Tamer is free to try before you buy to see if its worth it for you or if you just want to do it manually.

How to resize images in Photoshop Elements so that they cover the screen on a widescreen tv?

I'm having difficulty resizing my photos in landscape
view so that they cover the entire screen on our
widescreen tv. Also, how to do them as batch
files. I have Photoshop Elements 9.0.
Thank you.

The picture has to be the right pixel size. If your camera can't take a wide screen picture then you have to crop each picture to the proper pixel size. What I do is crop with no restrictions. Make the width 8.348 inches and the height 4.696 inches and resolution 300. After croping your picture will be 1920 x 1080 pixels. You can now adjust to whatever size picture you want. If you do some investigating on the internet you can probably find various sites that tell you what pixel dimensions for any size picture. And also for inch dimensions. I hope this helps.

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. I was given the choice of small, medium or large the first time I took a picture. Now I have no idea how to change it to medium. Can anyone help?

I cannot figure out how to change the photo size on my iPhone 5s. The first time I took a pic it asked if I wanted smalll, medium or large and listed the pixels. I chose small but am now finding that is too small. Can anyone help me set it to medium now? I can't find any setting for that. I'm a newby to iPhones and have no idea what I'm doing. Thanks for any help you can offer.

By "sending" do you mean sending email?
If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
To my knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

If I want to use photos as wallpaper on the phone do they have to be resized or can I just load them?

With your iphone plugged into itunes go to the tables for music, photos, etc and set to sync with the album,playlist you want.
Sounds like you might need to read the owners manual:
