Perhaps it would be helpful to explain what it is you are trying to accomplish.
Is it that you are trying to save drive space and want to reduce the file size of the photos? Or is it that you need to send the photos somewhere (upload, email, etc.) and again the file size is an issue? Or is it that you want to make a print and need to know how to print it out in the size you want:? Or do they simply look to big on your screen and you want to display them smaller?

Thanks Patrick,
My purpose is to edit the picture so that I bring them into iMovie09.
When I placed them into iMovie09, they simply look to big on the screen and I need it to display smaller
Thanks

    Abobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 resizing pictures?
    I just rencently got Photoshop Elements 5.0 and I have Windows XP service pack 2 and I read the help and did some things. I need to make some pictures smaller or bigger so the people I want in my banner look aroung the same size. When I try to resize the image it resiazes everything or I use the square tool and try to resize it my self but the pictures becomes out of shape. Also if I dont need all of my canvas that I created when I try to crop it t makes the pictures cut off. IS there a way to just get rid of the bottom od the canvas that I didn't do anything with? Here is a banner I made using photoshop and see the girls head is bigger cause I don't know how to resize it. http://i12.tinypic.com/2mcy245.jpg... I went to paint to cut off the extra canvas that was in the picture. I had used The Gimp before I used photoshop and with Gimp I knew how to resize pictures to place on another picture.
    Additional Details
    the crt + t makes my picture look bad. I guess I have to reseize myt pictures in gimp to make anything then.

    while in the Transform tool, tick ON the "Constrain Proportions" tickbox at the top. then when you move a handle, the image will resize poprtionaltely instead of distorting.

  • How to Resize a picture

    hi
    I am using web cam acquiring image using lab view. i want to reduce the size of the picture before saving it .currently the size of the iamge is 300*200. i want to save it in smaller size becaz iwill be displaying this image on mobile and that require small pictures.any idea how to do it in labview.

    Attached is a VI which resizes a 2D array (7.0) . It was designed to resize pictures and for pictures of your size it should be fast enough. I don't think webcams use 24 bit color, so you may have to make some modifications. Also, it doesn't do any "clever" stuff like averaging color values. It just takes some of the elements from the original, which seems to be good enough.
    From what I saw, this VI gets slow when handling large arrays (I saw about a second for a 2800x1500). Does anyone have any optimizations ideas? I know that when windows creates thumbnails it also takes time, so I'm not too optimistic.

  • How to resize a layer or picture

    I am brand new to anything PhotoShop. I have created a talk balloon that I plan on putting it on a photo. I have the text on it already. However, the area outside of the balloon must be tranparent. I made it transparent pixel by pixel. There must be an easier way. So my two questions are:
    1. How to make an area of a picture or layer transparent?
    2. How to resize a layer or .jpg picture or any picture that can be edited by PS Elements 12
    Tried to include the talk balloon file but it failed because of the content. What is wrong with " Hmmmmmm"
    "I think this one fits". It is a psd file.
    Bill

    1. How to make an area of a picture or layer transparent?
    Select the area where you want  it to be transparent and use the Eraser of various types from the tool bar. there are essentially three types:  Eraser Tool, Magic Eraser and Background Eraser.  The selection tool has also many types.
    How to resize a layer or .jpg picture or any picture that can be edited by PS Elements 12
    To resize any picture you simply go to:
    Image >> Resize
    Select what ever you want to resize the canvas or the Image.  If you are in PSD file then canvas resize might be appropriate but my answer is pretty general to give you the necessary options.  there is also the "Scale" of the image so you are spoilt for choices here.
    You just need to be careful not to0 degrade the image so much by resizing because pixels per inch changes and lower the amount per inch degrades the image;  This is what happens when you increase the size while reverse is the case if you resize it downwards.

    Use the Crop tool.
    Thanks Appleman, but the crop tool, cut off parts of the picture.
    To illustrate my problem, I have a picture & this picture consist of one face. So, this face covers the whole screen. But what I want to do is still to have the whole face but NOT covering the whole screen as I need some other spaces to put in text (I do not want to overlay the text across the face).
    Ay ideas ?
    Thanks

    Hi Miron,
    You are best off taking the image into Preview or Photoshop and resizing it to match your framesize. You could use a button and resize that but it is not economical or pretty.

  • I can't resize pictures with my selection tool anymore how can i reset it?

    i can't resize pictures with the selection tool anymore, i can only move them please help.

    Most likely, you inadvertently triggered Hide Bounding Box. To rectify, choose View > Show Bounding Box.

  • I need to know how to copy pictures to a cd with the captions showing, elements 8 and windows 7

    I need to know how to copy
    pictures to a cd with the captions showing, elements 8, windows 7

    Here are some suggestions.  Perhaps others will have even better ideas.
    1 -- for viewing on a Windows computer,  you can experiment with making a PSE Organizer slide show creation in which you specify to show the captions. Then save the Output of the slide show as a WMV file that the recipient could play on a computer with Windows Media Player.
    If you have a DVD burner on your PC, you can also use that WMV file as input to the Windows 7 DVD Maker program for making a TV playable DVD. And if your recipient(s) who will view on a computer have DVD readers, you could make video DVDs playable on computers or TV DVD players instead of using CDs.
    The limitations of this approach are that this wmv file you create is really a video file so
    -- it advances photo slides at the rate specified when you create the slide show
    -- the choices to save a wmv file are not very high resolution so that recipients who have high resolution monitors will not see the photo images are not getting the benefit of seeing the photos at their best
    -- your recipients can't print from this video slide show
    2 An entirely different approach is to
    -- For each individual photo, make a copy of the photo file and depending on how high resolution your originals you might want to resize down to monitor viewing sizes.
    -- Then use the PSE Editor Text Tool to place the caption on a layer above the photo. (I think that you could display the existing caption and then do a copy and paste so that you don't need to retype everything.)
    -- You should save this photo copy with the text as a uniquely named JPEG file. Use the file names to control the sequence in which you want the viewer to see the photos.  (Don't save as a PSD because others probably can't read the PSD format).
    -- Then use your computers CD burning software to burn a folder containing all those jpeg files with the captions to CD
    This approach is a bit of work for each photo and you did not say how many photo files you will be doing. However,
    -- computer users should be able to display  the jpegs as high resolution photos on their computer as well as optionally print from those photo files
    -- many TV DVD players can play (display) jpg files from a CD disc which also gives recipients the opportunity to view the photos on their larger TV screen
    Process 2 may seem complicated but once you get started I think it will be more of a production line.
    ADDITION
    Do you have any portrait orientation photos included with those you wish to send ? If yes, we might need to discuss some additional processing for them.

  • How to resize project without losing the image resolution?

    I am trying to resize a project that recorded in 1271 x 768
    px to 800 x 483 px. I did it by clicked 'Project' > 'Resize
    Project...'. But after resize, the resolution of the movie is not
    clear, became blur. How to resize the project so that I'll have
    clearer movie? Thanks.

    Hi obtis and welcome to our community
    Unfortunately, there is little you may do to avoid this. The
    best way to avoid it is to simply record initially at the size you
    need so you don't have to use the Resize function.
    Here's the deal. Captivate stores images in the project as
    bitmapped images. Otherwise known as "raster" images. Basically
    they are a mosaic that comprises the picture. Initially, all is
    well and is crystal clear. But when you scale down a raster or
    bitmapped image, you are simply moving all the picture elements
    (PixEls) closer together. They overlap and the computer will
    calculate new values for what color they should be. Depending on
    how much you are resizing, the clarity drop can be acceptable or
    horribly bad. The more you resize smaller the worse it gets.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • Resizing Pictures

    Can some one tell me how to resize a picture using iPhoto or another application?
    ( I am trying to make the pictures bigger for a slide show )

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't make a picture larger in pixels than it already is. At least not without considerable image quality loss. In Photoshop and Photoshop Elements one can increase the pixel dimension but, as I warned, the image quality will suffer. Besides the two editors I mentioned there are some others that may be able to do what PS does as far as enlarging: GraphicConverter or Pixelmator.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
