How to resize an image without squashing it?

I am trying to add image to mug template ,so when I resize it get squashed how I resolve this
thanks

Hold the shift key down while resizing, and check that the percentages are the same in the top bar. (The numbers on the far right in these screen shots)
It doesn't matter what the numbers are, as long as they match each other.

How to resize photoshop image without changing canvas size?

When i had the older versions of photoshop i would change the image size and it would enlarge on my canvas for me to rearrange. Lately i realized on CC when i increase image size so does my canvas size. Is there anyway to prevent my canvas size from increasing too?

I am having what appears to be this same issue.    I am using PS CC.
hello @ c.pfaffenbichler
I resized my image in image> image size.
Details:
I am not a ps expert but woefully self taught. However through much trial and error I have in my experience over the years, achieved some comfortability with the image size dialog box as well as the canvas size dialog box. SOME comfortability lol. That is, I feel that I understand what is going on most of the time and when flummoxed have studied adobe literature or read hundreds of posts here and elsewhere to gain additional knowledge which many times resolves the issue. I like digging and finding the answers.
In this case, my digging is done dug a giant hole and I am exhausted and found nuthin'.
I feel like I am going nutso.
In my mind,
1. There is the image I am working on
2. There is the canvas the image is sitting on
My expectation and previous experience is that I can change the Image size by going to Image > image size and this change does not affect the canvas size.
My expectation and previous experience is that I can go to Image >canvas size and change the canvas size and this does not affect the image size.
I could also use the Transform to resize the image which also, would not in my expectation, change the canvas size.
In the beginning of my workflow on this particular collage I did not have this issue, so that leads me to believe I did or am doing something to cause this rather than it being some kind of bug.    But what do I know.
I thank you in advance for your assistance.

How to resize large images without losing quality

Hello I have an image that I am trying to use as an email. Right now it is 2108 pixels. And for an email it should be 600 px. I created this image in illustrator as vectors and type.
Whenever I go into image size and i change it to be 600 pixels it gets extremely blurry. I have also tried converting this to a smart object... doesnt work. How do I resize my large image to be smaller without losing quality???

here is an example sceenshot of the opening dialog (.ai opened directly in Photoshop)
your illustrator vector should be rastered sharp at 100% actual Pixels in Photoshop
that is where you want to evaluate sharpness in Photoshop...
then File> Save for Web & Devices (and drag that saved file icon into an open web browser)
still no joy, embed your saved image here using the forum's camera icon...

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?

Resizing an image without AWT

Hello, here is my question:
I have seen many examples on the Web explaining how to resize an image in Java. All of them use AWT. The problem is, my application is web-based, hosted on a server without X11 installed. Now, I know from the Java2D FAQ that from Java 1.4, you should be able to bypass this problem by setting this system property: "-Djava.awt.headless=true". But unfortunately, I don't have access to the system properties either. My website is hosted by a company sharing it's servers between many customers, and therefore, I cannot customize the Caucho Resin server to fit my needs.
So I'm wondering if there's any other way to resize an image in a web application with Java.
Thank you in advance!

Unfortunately, it does not seem to work... I'm still getting an "Exception Class: class java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" error as soon as I try to use the "getGraphics" method on the webhost's server. It works on my local machine, thought. Here's the trace I'm getting:

Resize A Image Without Losing Quality

I have been reading about how to best resize image in PS CS4/CS5. I've read that you should increase the size of a image in increments and I’ve also read that you should resize using the bicubic smoother setting in PS.
The image that I would like to resize is 5W x 7H and resolution of 150. I would like to print this image at 30W x 40H on a HP Designjet 5500ps.
Any recommendation on how I should go about resizing the image without losing quality?

No matter which method you used, scaling up a photo 5 times is going to look very good.
There are some software that purports to scale up an image without blurry edges. Not sure how well they work.
If you can obtain the original image and rescan it at a higher resolution that would work better.
Or, if the photo can be easily recreated as a vector drawing, then do that with illustrator and print it out large.
Or if you or someone you know is a great artist, then scale up the photo in photoshop (which would become blurry), then hand correct the edges to make them sharp. This requires drawing ability.

How to resize multiple images?

I am newbie to RH and would like to know if there is a method /shortcut by which I can resize multiple images?
Specifically to my project: I have close to 50 tables containing various images and their descriptions. When I insert these images into RH, the original image size is inserted and these images are of various sizes.
I know how to resize multiple images in Word but not in RH and hence, reaching to higher powers
I am using RH 9
Appreciate all your help!

Hi There, Well the best option is to resize each image individually but if you feel that you can select all images together and the resize them all at once I am sure that you would like to give a read to this post from forums which talks about this job

How to resize display image item?

How to resize an image in display image item not in column?
I find a way to resize it in column which similar to this way
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(PLAYER_PIC),0),0,null,
'<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius:
4px;" '||
'src="'||
apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P5_PLAYER_PIC',ROWID)||
'" height="75" width="75" alt="Player Image" title="Player Image" />')
detail_img
but when I try to implement it to display image item which I returned the image from the column, I cant resize it this way, or may be I used wrong syntax, can you please help me finding way to resize it with steps?

I guess it is because of some carriage returns in your dynamic img tag that is being generated may be not, so make sure there are no breaks half-way through he attributes of the img tag.
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(PLAYER_PIC),0),0,null, '<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '|| 'src="'|| apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P5_PLAYER_PIC',ROWID)|| '" height="75" width="75" alt="Player Image" title="Player Image" />') detail_imgand also inspect the element/img to see if the code is rendered correctly

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

How to load an image without a gui? big problems...

Hey guys, I usually try my best to not ask for help and figure stuff out myself. But this last week i've been having big problems with this work project.
My goal is to load images from disk, and append them to each other to create one big image.
The images are 0-9.jpg each file containing a number in it. then i create one big file with 4 numbers in it. called final.jpg.
so far i can do all this, but whenever the program is finished, the application just keeps running. the program has literally gone through all the steps... i have a system.out.println printed on the last line after the main, after the class instantiation... and still it stays running.
how do you guys load images without a gui? This program will probably be running under unix, so i can't create a (for component example)
Panel() and media track the file load... so i'm pretty much stumped
any help you guys can provide would be really incredibly helpfull at this point. I have searched these threads for a few hours without luck. I found only 1 real post related to my problem, but eventually they said use MediaTracker = new Mediatracker( new Panel() ); which i can't use. :(
Thanks a lot guys.
:D

yeah tried doing that, didn't work either.
UPDATE
I FINALLY found a way...
and here it is for others to find!
public BufferedImage getImage(String filename) throws Exception {
FileInputStream input = new FileInputStream( filename );
JPEGImageDecoder decoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGDecoder( input );
BufferedImage image = decoder.decodeAsBufferedImage();
return image;
it returns an image buffer, but it's better than nothing! :)
atleast this functions under unix.

RESIZING GIF IMAGES WITHOUT LOSING ANIMATION

Is it possible to resize a Gif image without losing animation? I tried but unfortunately lost the animation. I use CS3 Extended. Thanks

No, I don't think so. for that, you'd probably have to import your animation using the Video to Layers option, resize, then rebuild the animation and export it.

How to best arc image without distortion to fit curved cup template?

I have tried searching forum for this and I know it has been discussed before but not really finding what I need to do correctly. I have attached the layered image (reducing opacity so you can both template and image). The vendor provided me a flat template, not a path, to do my artwork. As you can see I need to arc the image without distorting to fit a cup template. I am more comfortable in photoshop but I can export to AI if necessary to complete which appears what I need to do via envelope distort from what I keep seeing. However, the template provided is not a path. I tried to trace template shape manually with pen tool and use envelope distort to arc my image to conform but it looked very distorted and no even close to what I was trying to achieve. I tried to do tradition arc warp in photoshop but it still seems to distort proportions. Steps on how best to do this would be much appreciated! I know there must be a easier/more efficient way to achieve this.

I would not trace the template and will simply use it as a visual reference for deforming (conforming) the image to it. You can make the template image transparent to certain degree using the Transparency panel so you can see through it then move its layer on top of all other layers and lock it. Scale and position your image in such way that at least two of its corners fit two corners of the template for example the two top corners and then its bottom edge is on the same level as the template.Then select the image to be deformed and in the control panel at the top of your screen click the Embed button which allows you to deform the image (edit: just noticed you wrote it is already embedded, so skip this).
Choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make it with a Mesh. and chose 1 for rows and columns. Make sure the Smart Guides are on (View > Smart Guides). With the Selection tool (white arrow) Shift click or drag a selection box to select the two points of one of the vertical sides of your image. Pick the Sheer Tool and first just click on the selected top corner point to set the reference point of the sheer then click and drag the corresponding bottom point to match it to the corresponding point of your template. You may hold Shift while dragging to constrain although the Smart Guides will do that by snapping to edge of the envelope if your mouse is close to it. Repeat this for the other side of image. To make the image curved, pick the Selection tool (white arrow) click a corner point which will display its handles, pick a handle that is on a horizontal side of the image and pull it up to deform the shape referring to the template. You may do this first roughly with all horizontal handles and then you can drag guides from the ruler when a handle is selected to snap a guide to it and use it to put the corresponding handle on the opposite side on the same level.
Once you have deformed the image to conform to the template, you can fine tune the distribution of the vertical deformation with the vertical handles of the corner points. You can grab a handle and drag it along the vertical paths of the envelope (the Smart guides will snap to it). Drag the vertical handles on one each side lower until you like the distribution of the deformation.
Try to follow my instructions and I'll clarify if you are stuck.
