Photoshop CC Image Sizes

Photoshop says my photo is 55.8M but on the desktop it's only 12.3 megabytes. I don't understand the discrepancy.

Thank you for reminding me of this. I'm surprised at myself, forgetting that. AND do I correctly recall that compression tends to affect colour depth? A .tif is better for CMYK print?
I really appreciate your speedy responses.

Help with Photoshop Cs6 Image size

I am using Photoshop Cs6 on a MacBook Pro with retina display. I'm working on an image that is 72 dpi and 1000 pixels wide by 300 pixels tall. When I hook my laptop up to my external monitor, the image is a nice size. However, when I disconnect it and look at it on my laptop it is way to small. I have to zoom in on the image on my laptop to see the detail and then the graphics are distorted. Can you please help me?

ILLUSTRATOR/PHOTOSHOP onscreen image sizes differ.

Why does an image appear larger in Photoshop cs3 than in Illustrator cs3.
The document has the same resolution and is at the same magnification in both programs

This issue is driving me crazy! Especially because I can't reproduce the results.
If you copy and paste as a smart object from Illustrator into Photoshop, edit, and bring it back into Illustrator, then the pasted/placed smart object is usually greatly scaled down. It is like the two apps share different world space. There is no problem if you scale the placed image up, but you have to determine the appropriate multiplier. 2.5 has worked for me before. Of course, the resolution stays intact, you aren't actually changing the raster image at this point, just its size relative to the vector images.
I think that's how it can be helped.
Does anyone have a better workflow suggestion for adding raster effects to vector shapes and embedding into .ai files?

Photoshop CS5 image size

Please help. If I set up a new doc at 7.5" x 4.625", when I recheck the image or canvas size, it says 7.5" x 4.627" - why can't I get the .625 to stick?

Thank you so much for resolving this issue JJMack!!
I set my dpi at 300 (which I thought was fairly standard for most print jobs - at least that's what the printer asked for), and when I changed it to 600 dpi the 3 decimal places stuck just as you said.
If anything, it's taken a weight off my mind - I thought I was doing something strange.
cheers!

Photoshop touch image size

Might be a silly question,
Using photoshop touch iPhone, I want to resize a empty photo layer to 15x10cms to I can add 5x5cms photos (need to resize them too) so when I print a 15x10 cm photo I can cut the photos to print a photo frame? :/

Sure - just forget about the size in cm, but get the dimension right: e.g. 2000x1333

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

When I have resized and saved an image in Photoshop (CS, version 8.0 for Mac) using image size, why is it so large when I open it in preview or another image viewer? Has it actually saved according to the size I specified?

You want to view the image at the Print Size, which represents the size that shows in the Image>Resize Dialog.
View>Print Size
Since screen resolution is almost always lower that the print resolution (somewhere between 72 and 96 usually), images will always look bigger on the screen, unless you view them at print size.
(apple Retina displays have a much higher resolution than normal screens, closer to the average print size resolution)

How to make Image/size/resolution agree with metadata resolution?

After scanning the help file a bit and searching thru this forum a bit with `metadata resolution' as search criteria, I'm still pretty confused about how it is supposed to work.. I may have never actually found the right part of the help file.
Cutting to the chase: How can I make the resolution reported by the metadata tab for resolution agree with what is reported inside photoshop at Image/size resolution. I didn't see any way to set how res is reported in bridge.
I see many pictures reported in metadata as 72 ppi for resolution and reported in photoshop as 200 pixel/inch
They do BOTH mean pixels per inch right? If so, or really even if they don't how can I get the two reports to show the same resolution?
There are too many processes that depend on knowing res in advance of opening a file for that to be so far divergent.

Some JPG or Tiff with Camera raw settings will be opened in ACR firstly when you double click them. In ACR workflow option (the bottom in the ACR dialog) the resolution value isn’t same with that in Bridge (metadata panel). If you go ahead to open the image in PS by clicking ‘Open Image’ button in ACR dialog and then check the image size from Image -> Image Size in PS, the resolution will be same with ACR (actually it is changed by ACR).
If disable ACR support for JPG and Tiff in Bridge (Open Camera Raw Preferences in Bridge and choose ‘Disable JPEG support’ or ‘Disable TIFF support’ for ‘JPEG and TIFF Handling’), JPG or TIFF files will be opened by PS directly and the resolution matches between Bridge and PS. I believe this is an ACR bug.
So what file types are you using and if they’re opened by ACR firstly in your workflow?
The files are *.jpg. But I don't see where camera raw comes in. These are common jpg files. I'm opening them by double click in bridge.
Any way I did disable jpg and tiff in the Camera Raw preferences as you suggested. At Jpeg and tiff handling, both disabled. and restared bridge.
However, I see no improvment.
For example, a file reporting 72 ppi in bridge when opened in photoshop ... Images/size resolution reports 480 pixels/inch.
There is obviously some kind of miss handling that has been done to these files for them to have such a high resolution. I suspect they may have been handled at Walgreens or Walmart... or similar since I had something very similar happen to me once when I had a bunch of pictures developed at Walgreens and they cam back with resolutions like that, when I know the camera would have given them something way less.
But I don't see how any of that should be effecting Bridges inability to get the resolution right.
Here is another example: some.jpg
It appears that bridge is showing an unusually huge file size in inches, to account for the reported 72 ppi.
Bridge:
Size: ...............1.14mb
Dimensions:.....1496x1064
Dimensions in
inches ............20.8x26.7
Resolution: .....72 ppi
===========================
Photoshop:

Width 1496

Do you have further suggestions?

Cs4 small jpeg file shows as large image size

Hi I am using Photoshop CS4 and I am trying to downsize images shot from my camera to less than 1 mb, by shifting the quality of the jpeg slider to the left in the save as menu.
Once I've done that when I open the newly reduced jpeg file again, and I go to the image Size, it shows as 25 Mb,
This started happening after I reinstalled the Cs4 Creative Suite to my computer.
What can I do, as when I tried to upload the images, ebay said they were too large, ie the file size of the image didnt get reduced at all.
Is it possible to fix this as I have reinstalled the software twice, and I still get the same problem,
thanks

Is it possible to fix this as I have reinstalled the software twice, and I still get the same problem
I think the problem is not at all Photoshop’s.
When you degrade an image by reducing the jpg quality the number of pixels does not change so the uncompressed image (as indicated for the opened file in Photoshop’s Image Size dialog) naturally has the old size.
What are ebay’s image requirements? Do they mention some maximum width/height in pixels?

I'm trying to get the image to print correct size. i've tried center image, fit to media image, and they all come out the same size...smaller than the size in "image size". is this an Epson problem or Photoshop problem. Thanks!

I just got a new printer...Epson R3000...but have had this problem before. It's probably a simple fix, but I can't figure it out. I'm asking for printing on 8.5 x 11 and the image comes out 6.5 x 9.5 every time. Help please! And thanks!

The Epson site stated that the R3000 printer can print borderless however the quality will suffer in the expanded print area. Borderless is not supported on some heavy paper. To me the means your better off limiting you images size to the standard print area. There will be magins about 1/8" on the four sides so the print area on 8.5"x11" paper is 8.26" x 10.76"....
Take note of the print size set by the epson driver it may change depending on the paper type set. Note my first epson 4800 setup where I set 8.5" x 11" sheet paper from tray into the printer setting the driver set a smaller size for the paper which was reflected into the Photoshop Print preview. It shows paper is 8.499" x 10.999 with a small unprintable area across the top....
Paper
Use paper under normal conditions:
Temperature: 59 to 77 °F (15 to 25 °C)
Humidity: 40 to 60% RH
Note:
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot guarantee the quality of any non-Epson brand or type of paper. Always test a sample of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.

Problem with Image - Image Size (Photoshop CC 2014 Mac.) I get a small square shape in place of a curser

I tried resizing an image. I click on Image then Image Size and no dialog box to change the size comes up. Instead when I move the cursor over the image a small square replaces the cursor. All the choices in the "Image" drop down turn light gray. If I hit "Escape" Everything looks normal. Problem went away when I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it, but it came back.

Two ideas:
Open Image > Image Size and hold down the Option key. The Cancel button will change to Reset. Click on it.
That may work.
If not,
Try a Preferences reset from the keyboard.
Close Photoshop
Press and hold down Cmd-Opt-Shift Start Photoshop. Look for delete settings dialog and click on "Yes"
Then after Photoshop loads, try the Image Size again.

How can you make a pixlated image a higher resolution in Photoshop CC? i have tryed image size but it doesnt seem to work someone please help

As you can see in the screenshot here ----> Gyazo - b048a0770df6264af1ff398951acd4f9.png I have typed a higher resolution but when I try the pixles never seen to ever go away and it increases the file size every time, is there an easier way? PS: if another adobe cc software is needed to complete this task I have every one so it doesn't have to only be in Photoshop.

The image has been reduced in size and over sharpened to the point that jaggies artifacts abound. You will not be happy with the result of interpolate the images up in size increase the number of pixels.. You need to find the original image file from the camera.

How do you change the image size and resolution in photoshop everytime I change the width the height changes my measurements will not stay

Can someone assist me with changing image size and resolution. each time I change the width the height changes and vice/versa?

There's a chain link between width and height. The point is to keep the aspect ratio the same, otherwise your picture would get stretched.
You click on the chain-link to shut that off and you can adjust width and height separately.
Also could you give us your version of Photoshop, what OS you are running it on (Windows 7 for example) and what exactly you want to do with your document?
Resolution is the print term for how many pixels will be printed on an inch of paper. It doesn't apply if your image is intended for screen viewing.

Photoshop CC 2014 Screws Up Image Size

Every time I open a document in Photoshop CC 2014, the size of the canvas is basically half its real image size. I took a video of my screen so that you can understand what is happening to me and hopefully figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I make an image that is 800x300 pixels at 72 ppi
The image opens up looking half the size (about 400x150 pixels).
I make a text box with a font at 12 pt, and it comes out tiny.
I enlarge the font, type "Testing 1 2 3," and then export the image as a PNG file.
The PNG file comes out as 800x300 pixels, but the text is pixelated.
What in the world am I doing wrong? Never, in all my years of using Photoshop, had I encountered such a problem before now.
Notice at the bottom of the screen that the canvas is at 100% the entire time.

You post so little useful information. You video show you using a mac the the video setting look like 1080 yet the video does no fill my 1920 width but does fill the 1080 height. Your Mac launch icon look huge so you your 800x300 canvas looks small on you desktop so I'm guessing retina display with lots of pixels 4:3 aspect ratio. The ping posted here look bad because of the way this site scale images. if you open it in a new tab it looks great even when I click on it thus site html pop-up image display of the png looks good. I see no pixelation and the edges look sharp ans smooth.

Photoshop CC not displaying correct image sizes, among other issues.

Hey, so I'd like a bit of help here!
I got my new laptop from the school a couple of weeks ago and photoshop’s been funky ever since I got it. It’s a brand new Macbook, and it's running Photoshop CC.
First things first, it won’t recognize some of the brushstrokes I make. It will show that I've made them, but they won’t show up in the history panel. I'll have to make another stroke for it to register both of them. (Making undoing things a real pain.) Also, some of the keyboard shortcuts I use won't work in a really similar way. If I go to switch to my brush by pressing b, it occasionally won't register it unless I make an additional brush stroke. This works with all of the other shortcuts I use.
In addition, file sizes are all kinds of messed up. Here’s the most recent example. The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
Here’s another example. This one is 1254 x 1201, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB, shown at 100% zoom. The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M. I don’t feel like that’s right? I don't remember any other versions of Photoshop having images be that large.
Maybe it’s my computer settings? Right now I have the resolution set on "best for display," but even if i use the "scaled" option and change sizes, the images are still too small.
I don't know if I would be able to uninstall and then re-install Photoshop because the school has control over those sorts of things and there are certain programs that you cannot remove. I've tried restarting the program as well as the laptop, but neither of those helped.
if anyone can help me, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html
As for the specifics:
The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M.
If you double the dimensions of an image the area is increased fourfold – so what is the problem there?
The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
The introduction or Retina (and other high resolution) displays and browsers actually up-scaling images to accommodate those screen resolutions seems to have confused some users about the concept of pixels.

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.
