Image Size Command!

I really need help I try to change an image size and it just says "Couldn't complete Image Size Command because not enough memory (RAM)" how can I fix it?  

Try reducing the ppi. What is happening is the pixel dimensions are getting so large that you just don't have enough memory to handle that size of a document. So a larger document would mean a smaller ppi to effectively keep the pixel dimensions down.
inches x ppi = pixels
pixels / ppi = inches

    Hello,

    Thanks !

    Can you change other images via Image > Image Size?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

  • Image size when sharing portrait orientation in CC

    Is there any way to over ride the behavior of CC when sharing images with a portrait orientation? By default it fits the image to the height of the browser window, even when it's expanded to full page. The result is a REDUCTION in image size if you want to share an image that is taller than it is wide.

    Usually Images display "fit to screen" by default in my browser. If I click on an over-sized image, it goes to actual size.
    There I can scroll around. So I'm guessing you want a 100% or "fit width" default?
    Anyway it is the Image > Image Size command that resizes or changes pixel dimensions in Photoshop.
    If you send your images to other users, they can zoom in and out to view no matter the size.

  • How to change image size defaults

    Hi all
    I have a burning question. In CS4, when I use the Image Size command, the default units are centimetres instead of inches under Document Size part of the dialog box.
    I know that keeping rulers set to inches will change that default, but I distinctly remember the time when I was able to keep my rulers set to pixels, and my Image Size to inches at the same time.
    Something changed at some point and I can't figure out what. How can I keep my rulers set as pixels, but the Image Size dialog box to inches at all times?

    Problem solved by a fellow 'shoppist at another forum. He suggested changing the regional settings in control panel and restarting a computer, as he felt that was the culprit. Well, regional settings did it indeed - caught red handed AND with a thong in a purse.
    Allow me to paraphrase a rant I already vented on the aforementioned forum: See, I'm in Canada. That means we're officially metric by executive decision. Only, no one ever bothered to tell us, the mindless minions, so we still scurry about our busy little lives oblivious to the existence of a centimeter, while fully engaged in an affair with an inch (or more).
    Whoops, pardon - here in Canada it's spelled centimetre.
    But every once in a while someone here will stub their toe on a stray "centimeter" (I'm trying to get fired from being a Canadian). And when that happens, since we can't actually see them, we just stare into an empty half-inch space wondering what possibly could have caused a hiccup in space-time continuum.
    Microsoft had other plans though. It planted the invisible centimeters into the operating system that are triggered by regional settings. Settings that are officially metric, even if in reality they don't exist, just like the Hobbits, ET's and southern democrats.
    OK, rant is over!

  • Why am I getting messages such as "The command "Image Size" is not currently available" when trying to run an Action that has always worked in the past and when the particular Commands do work if used by themselves?

    Why am I getting messages such as "The command Image Size is not currently available whenever I try to run an Action that uses the particular command (and which has always worked fine previously) and when the particular command works fine when used on its own?

    I would think that image size would always be available when there is an active document in Photoshop.  The only time I remember seeing messages like that where they should work was during the five month period when Adobe released CS6 with so many bugs which took Adobe five months to fix.  During those five month messages like that that should not have happen were common when action switch between documents.  Adobe would start processing the next Action step before the document switch completed, Any step that required an active document could fail with a mess stating the command is not available.
    Are you by some chance using CS6 version 13.0 CS6 without any updates.  Use Photoshop menu Help>About Photoshop.  If it shows CS6 version 13.0 you need to update CS6. .

  • Aperture/Photoshop plug in and image size

    I'm having a problem I don't really understand.  I have Aperture 3 and I have CS5 that I'm trying to use as a plug-in for Aperture.  This is half an Aperture question and half a Photoshop one so I hope someone can answer it for me.
    In Photoshop I made an "action" that is a sort of raised beveled watermark for my photos. 
    I open one of my images in Aperture and "fix" it - soften the skin, blur the background (whatever...) then I go to the top menu item "Photos" and go down and pick "edit with Adobe CS5."  And my image opens in Photoshop.  I go to the menu and pick the watermark action but when it works my watermark can't really be "read" because it's not fitting on the photo, it's too big and falls off the edges.  The photo is 1241x1280 px.
    But here is the odd thing.  If I take that same photo, the very same size 1241x1280 and open it directly in photoshop, completely bypass Aperture, and run the watermark action, it's actually a bit small (but usable) it fits fine in the very same photo!  When I check the image size in Photoshop it is the same size (regardless of if I open in photoshop directly or go there from Aperture).
    So this problem only seems to happen when I edit the photo from Aperture.  I'm new to both Aperture and Photoshop (crazy to try and learn 2 programs at once) and I don't know if I can make just the watermark layer in photoshop smaller.  But again it fits fine if I apply it directly from Photoshop bypassing Aperture.
    Does anyone know why this happens and how I can make the watermark work?  Or can I make a watermark in Aperture?
    Thanks for any help,
    Susan

    Like I said when I rescale it they way you said to do in photoshop it changes the size and distorts it a bit.
    If you hold down the 'Shift + Option' keys while scaling, the text, shape or raster object will not distort and will resize from the center (AKA - maintain aspect ratio).
    I run the full version of PS, so am not sure if the commands are exactly the same if you are running PS Elements, but there is a command at 'Layer menu > Layer Style > Scale Effects..' which can be used for scaling the bevel settings to match the scaling of the watermark item.
    One exact way to do this in PS full version is to choose the Edit > Transform > Scale command and then use the option bar fields under the main menu bar to change the 'H' (Height) and 'W' (Width) percentages equally (to say 70% in each) and then use the aforementioned 'Layer........Scale Effects' command and enter 70% in that dialog. This should reduce the watermark and effects appropriately without distortion.
    Note - indeed both programs are very deep (especially PS), but that just gives you more fun to learn as you go. Don't worry about mastering either, just work within a structured workflow so you can take the steps at your own pace.
    Again, I am not sure what version of PS you are running, but the one book I suggest looking into more than any other is at the link below. It is somewhat dated, but the information is completely relevant and covers the general usage of Photoshop to make anyone comfortable with the tool set.
    http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Photoshop-Unmasked-Science-Selections/dp/0321441206/ ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1307824869&sr=8-1
    The companion website is still up and you can download all the images used in the book if you want to practice on the same images he outlines. Well worth a look if you want to learn Photoshop.

  • Amusing little image size/dpi bug in CS5

    Has anyone else discovered PS CS5 applying nearly random dpi settings to newly opened documents?  This is not a destructive bug, as far as I can tell, but when I open "Image Size," PS will sometimes give me a whacko value for dpi (something like 1.2 or 3.4) with appropriately expanded dimensions.  I then reset the dpi to something sane (72, 300, whatever it ought to be), and the image dimensions return to what they ought to be.
    No biggee, but I don't like signs of random mischief in my software, and would like to find out if this is a known issue.
    I did, incidentally, run "image size" and "dpi" through the PS help forum search engine to see if this has been discussed recently.  Came up with a big "no" both times.  Seems like that's another piece of software that is largely decorative.
    Thanks for any light,

    Haven't seen that, but there are bugs in, for example, the JPEG writing software in some cameraphones.
    I had one phone that insisted all the photos taken with it were at zero dpi. That caused some problems.
    I had a different phone which reported that all photos taken with it were at something like six-million dpi. Closer inspection of the file revealed that it was trying to write some fairly normal dpi, but was getting the byte-order wrong.
    If your new images are coming from the same device or application, it might be worth checking the documents in Preview.app, and doing a "Show Inspector" (command-I) on the image and see what Preview thinks about it.

  • Actions have to be done manually/ image size not available

    i have a foder opened up in bridge , all photos selected, I go to tools/photoshop/batch/I choose my own action, web 1400, which includes reducing to 1400 px, reduce resolution, and saving to jpeg.
    In set, i choose my own actions, source: folder, choose the original folder, destination:folder, create new folder,ok.
    i have to do all the oks and saves by clicking manually, all in the end is fine, but that's odd.
    OR FROM PHOTOSHOP/windows/actions; it just wont work all together; My action is called web1400, includes 3 commands::
    2 image size (for reducing size, resolution) and save to jpeg.
    I select  web 1400, then I click the play icon (3rd from left) . that brings the selection down 1 step to image size and a window appears:  image size is not currently available.

    You should make sure that your printer is selected in Page Setup, rather than the generic Any Printer. You may need to look for it in Options... when you choose it in PowerPoint.

  • Scanning: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.

    Good Day.
    I have recently discovered an issue with scanning.  I have tried scanning straight from the printer, through image capture, and through preview.  All yeilding the same results since they are essentailly kicking off the same scanning applet.  I can scan a jpeg formatted file as long as I applet is in the "Hide Details" mode.  If I click on the "Show Details" button, which I need to do to scan to PDF, I immediately receive an error stating: The image size is too big. Please reduce the image height, width, resolution, scaling or output type.
    I'm currently using an HP C5180 printer.   The most recently installed software was Adobe Digital Editions (I installed this to read an on-line e-book).  Not sure if there is any correlation.    Thanks for any help.

    Hello Sig
    The scanner works with a Windows computer, which proves the device is functional at a cursory level. The drivers are now distributed by Apple and this is an Apple computer. There is no scanning software provided by HP. HP's answer is that Mountain Lion takes care of all of this.  I anticipate that some setting or driver was somehow tweaked since the scanner had been working with Mountain Lion until a few days ago.  The device in question is an Apple product. So, I'm pretty confident that I'm in the right place.
    Regards

  • Data Merge Image Size

    If I create an image frame and place a data merge field in it, when I do the merge, it makes the image the size of the frame (i.e. either enlarged or shrunk to fit). I would like the image to come in at 100% so that I can use the "fit frame to image" command instead of having to first resize the image back to 100%. I've tried messing with the frame fitting options, but nothing seems to be of any use. If I'm missing something, I hope someone can fill me in.
    In the event that there isn't a way, is this something that can be scripted (after the merge, run the script to select all image frames, set the image size to 100% and then scale the frame to the image).

    In my testing, selecting preserve image and frame size and center in frame keptthe frame at the size drawn int the template and centered the image.  Unselecting the center image put the image inthe upper left corner, and it either left the frame alone if it was larger than the image, or expanded it (even off the page) if the image was too large. Most images seem to have been imported at 100%. I still can't explain why a handful are coming in at 50 or 25%, but there was a bug discovered a year or so ago that caused image scaling for particular pixel dimensions for one user (might have been a combination of dimensions and resolution) which might explain it. I'm merging into a 20 x 24 page filling nearly the entire page withthe frame, and there seems to be space to place these files at 100% so it's a puzzle.
    I haven't seen ay images scaled up...

  • Reducing image size loses sharpness

    BEFORE YOU LEAVE WITHOUT READING THIS WHOLE THING, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO HELP BY ANSWERING ONE SIMPLE QUESTION:
    I have a background that has 8.5" x 11" external dimensions.  In the project bin, I'm also showing a layer (with transparent edges) that I've resized to 1" x 1.5".  When I double-click the background to put it on the screen, and then drag the layer  onto the screen, why doesn't it look like a small picture on top of a big one?  Instead, it's huge, and I have to drag it down to size with the move tool!
    ===========================================================================
    And now, the entire story:
    Running PSE9 under Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
    My project is a montage of stamp-sized images on a letter-size background, as in the attached -- commemorating the woman in the centerpiece.  I've stumbled though this kind of effort before with great success.  This time the small photos are coming out blurry, and it's because this time I've done one thing differently.
    In prior efforts, I recall somehow reducing the outside dimensions of an open file to about 2" x 3" before editing and finally adding it as a layer to the big background (using Move Tool to size it to fit), although during editing I was working with a reasonably-sized image and not a stamp (probably using command +).  The images in the final version were all sharp.   On this effort, however, my aging brain did not help me remember how to do it the same way, and I ended up working with the original photo, and then when I added it as a layer, I reduced it using the move tool -- very clumsy in view of the fact that the edited layer's image seemed to be larger than the canvas I was building, and the final images were blurry.
    I started reading Help on the subject of resizing, but that was way too much information for me to absorb before the end of the new year, and I'd like to finish the work in the next few days. (The attached photo IS the current project, and I whipped it out in a day, albeit blurry.)   I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a brute-force step-by-step to do it the way I've done it successfully before.

    The answer to your first question and the big one are very closely related. When you combine images, the resolution of the bottom (background) layer determines the resolution of the entire image. This means that if you have a low-res background (say, 72 ppi) and then you bring in high-res images (say, 300 ppi) the added content will be huge in comparison to the size of the overall image. When you scale it with the move tool you aren't doing yourself any favors if you make large changes that way.
    The best way to approach this is to make sure that all your images are at about the same resolution before you start (image>resize>image size). Also, make sure your background is not at a low resolution or the end result will print badly no matter how much time you spend combining things.

  • New Image Size and Resolution in CC

    Hi there.
    Ok, maybe i'm missing something, but how do i reduce the ppi's of a given image in the Photoshop CC? Changing it in the image size, in the Resolution field, it acomplish nothing. It logs an entry in the History panel, but nothing changes in the picture. Did Adobe changed how this works, or it's just a bug?
    Thank you.

    Try setting to real-world measurement, like inches or cm.
    Hi Charles, i think that change in cm/mm/in it's the only way to change the image ppi (in my case save/resample it to 108ppi). Can you confirm that this is correct?
    Anyway when i go to image size (new panel of CC) the w/h are:
    1) grey and always set in pixel with resample flagged.
    2) always set in inches with resample NON-flagged (also if my ruler unit is in Pixel).
    (and actually that is not new behavior. CS6 behaved same way when width and height were set to percent)
    In CS6 and CC i never seen w/h in percent  - where is my error?
    Many thanks!

  • Save Image size setting in Save for Web

    I'm using Save for Web (CS3) and scaling the file to different sizes with "scale image". I'm wanting to use the same scale settings for many images but when I save the pre-set the image size settings don't get saved. I'm wanting to use it as part of an action but the setting wont stick. Any suggestions? Alternative work flows?

    That's never been saved as part of the S4W presets. Bloody annoying.
