Photoshop Touch Canvas Size? Or precision Crop?

I frequently want to crop an image to a new aspect ratio, equivalent to the Canvas Size feature of desktop Photoshop.
Does PS Touch allow precise canvas size adjustment?
The Resize Image option lets me key in the exact smaller dimension, but now I'm using the Crop tool to adjust the other, and it can be awkward to drag to the exact pixel size. I'd like to be able to type in this value instead of relying on finger pressure.

Yes; when you go to use the Crop command, there should be a little arrow pointing upward on the left hand side of the crop options. Tap it to specify an exact width, height, or X and Y coordinates.
(This tip can apply to other tools as well, like the Transform command (5th icon from the upper right). Be on the lookout for the same arrow icon when using the other tools.)

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

Cropping + Changing Canvas Size

Hello,
I have a problem (because I'm a beginner in Photoshop), and it's that when I crop and image and try to change the canvas size - I change the size because I'm using another type of paper - (and anchor the image to the top left), the image looks like the way it was before the crop. Is there another way to do this? Am I doing it wrong?
Thanks

Ok, so, what I did:
New File 4x6 (in Custom)
Drag & Drop the picture to Photoshop (making a new layer in top of layer 0 or background)
Select the crop tool and arrange the picture like you want it to be seen after cropping it
After I have the picture cropped, I want to print it in a 4x6 paper, but when I click File>Print, the paper says 8.5x11 (which is the standard format)
Because I want it to be printed in 4x6 paper (so it can be correctly printed) I go to Image>Canvas Size and set the width and height of the canvas (in this case 4x6)
When I do this, the canvas becomes large again, but the picture looks like the way it was before the crop.
My question is if I'm doing this wrong, or if there's another way. Hope you understand. I added the pictures in order, just in case.

Problems with canvas size in Photoshop.

I just upgraded to CS Cloud. When I open images in Photoshop the canvas appears to be very large. So I tried cropping the image. When I go to the Image Size or Canvas Size the right size appears. However, on screen there is all of this white space that shows up. It's driving me crazy. Has anyone had this problem and know how to correct it?

Or you have color for the document window area outside the document bounds set to white.
Right click just outside the picture and see if selecting one the grays like light gray, makes a difference.

When using crop tool based on canvas size dimensions, the file size becomes very large

Can someone explain how to best figure out crop tool settings to maintain relative file size? I tried to use the image / canvas size information to set the crop tools dimensions, but the file saved is 10 times larger than the original.
Thanks!

What exact version of Photoshop? There were changes to the crop tool as of CS6, althoughy there's an option to use Classic (the old crop tool behaviour).
It wouldn't hurt to specify your platform (Mac or Win)…
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you better and faster.

Adobe Photoshop cs4-What Does Canvas Size Really Mean?

What are we actually looking at when we place a picture on a canvas?
For example, if I have a canvas of a width of 800 and a height of 1500 it appears on the screen to my eyes to be about 3 inches by 7 inches.
Then let's say I add the headline: Risk takers of all kinds think the same.
This headline will possibly take three rows to complete itself.
But then I can make the same canvas fit the screen.
Now the entire headline will fit on one row.
What confuses me is which image of the canvas is a "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" in terms of how it will actually look on my webpage?
In other words I guess my real question is how do I start with a canvas size that actually reflects my webpage or a defineable portion of it.
Thank You,
Jerry

You'll have to forgive me but at times I'm not really sure what I'm talking about or doing.
But an image or other content is built on layer canvas' I think?
It gets all confusing because you may or may not fill a canvas with an image?
Assuming you do fill a canvas with an image then I think the pixel dimensions and resolution will be directly tied to the canvas size?
But I don't think any of that is my real point.
I'll try to speak to my confusion using words other than those I first used.
For example let's say you are making a squeeze page for your website.
So you start with a headline that reads as follows: INTERNET MARKETER STICKS TO HIS GUM!
Let's say those words are in large print.
On my computer and I am using a small screen, if I create a canvas of a width =800 and height=1500 it occupies a space of
of about 3" by 7".
Now (and this part is now becoming like what I wrote above) those six words in large letters will occupy three to four rows on my computer.
So in my mind I am thinking that when I eventually publish that page that the headline should occupy four lines. Make sense?
But if I click the "fit to screen" Photoshop button, the canvas becomes larger on my screen and the entire headline will now fit on a "single" line.
So now in my mind I am thinking that when I eventually publish that page that the headline should occupy one line. See my problem?
I guess my point is am I looking at WYSIWYG in the first, second or neither case?
In other words what is the meaning of what I see when I look at a canvas?
Thank you for your help.
Here's one more attempt.
Let's say you spend 12 hours designing a canvas in Photoshop that you thought would properly fill your webpage, and then you discover to your dismay that instead of your headline fitting properly only 37% of it does. This would make you very unhappy and perhaps others.
So what I'm trying to understand as a beginner is how does what I see on a canvas in Photoshop cs4 relate to a webpage.

Adobe Generator: yes! but do not crop my canvas size (option)

Adobe Generator= Is not there an option where I can maintain original canvas size position? ?
I mean: I love that the generator slices and exports each individual layer element into a single file .. thats good BUT..
but I do not want that the auto-cropping feature of export each single image into its exact dimensions >> I do want an option where you can maintain the original canvas size and element's position within the canvas space.. is that possible?
GRAPHICALLY it is instead of this: /// I want an OPTION that automatically do this:
and we'll love that feature in Fireworks CC please !!!!

I am not really seeing the need for it. If that was the case, it would make more sense to save the entire document.
There is plenty need for it. For one, not every project is a web site where CSS is even relevant. But if you have a large stack of icons, it is often incredibly inefficient to position them all individually with CSS instead of just exporting them as PNGs with matching dimensions. It also gives you better control over the scaling; for example, if you have 2px strokes that are going to be scaled to 50% on export, you want to align them to a 2px grid so they don't go fuzzy.
In my case I often need to export large batches (hundreds) of logos, which all need to be exported at canvas size and not trimmed to endless random sizes. The layer mask hack sounds like a lifesaver, but has plenty of shortcomings. It should be easy enough to add it as a simple parameter, and it would save a lot of time and hassle for a lot of users.

Photoshop cs6 batching process change the canvas size

I am looking to change some images from 320x? to 320x320 without distoration. The way to do that would be to change the canvas size to 320x? to 320x320 and have the product stay in the middle. Can CS6 do that in a batch process?

I am sorry is that a yes or a no. I do not own this version of Photoshop but would upgrade if I can do this as I have several images to reformat.

How do I design my posters on Photoshop touch for ipad, to be A0 and export them to creative cloud at the same size???

How do I design my posters on Photoshop touch for ipad, to be A0 and export them to creative cloud at the same size???
every time I do it it comes out at a fraction of the size and not even an A size...
Please help

A0 is pretty big if you go at a high DPI for printing. It's about 10000 x 14000 pixels at 300 DPI.
PS Touch can handle about 12 Megapixel image imports (which is about 4000 x 3000 pixels). PS Touch, interestingly, can create 4096 x 4096 pixel projects from scratch.
Adding to that, PS Touch always exports at 72 DPI. Take note that this is probably due to tablet hardware. Tablet hardware is "getting there" but it still has a ways to go before it matches its desktop cousin.

After a re-install, it is impossible in Photoshop CS4 Extended to give a preset size to the Crop Tool. How can I het it back?

After a re-install of Photoshop CS4 Extended, because of problems with my iMac, it is impossible to give a preset size to the Crop Tool.How is that possible - and how can I repair that?

Did you trash the Photoshop's preferences before re-installing?
Reinstalling without trashing the preferences is futile, as you still have all the corruption there.
Quit Photoshop now and trash preferences:
Hold down Command, Option, and Shift keys while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file. Click on yes.

Why is Photoshop Touch reducing my file size?

The original photo I'm working with is 2.6 MB taken with my iPhone, editing is being done in Photoshop Touch on an iPad 2. After adjusting contrast and color and trying to export, the file is 41kb. There don't seem to be any tutorials on exporting projects, and the only options are exporting as JPG or PNG, and both are reducing my file size. Is there a way to adjust file exporting preferences? I want the full resolution of the file to be exported when I am finished.

PS Touch only permits JPEG and PNG when exporting directly to your device. Exporting by "sharing" (rather than "save to") via a service like Dropbox permits the full range of file formats (JPEG, PNG, PSD & PSDX).
Not sure what's causing the file to shrink so considerably. My projects, provided I kept the same dimensions, are generally the same size as my originals when I save locally. (I'm on Android.)

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.

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues. Which tablet is it exactly that you are using?
Which Android version do you have on it?
It would be good if you could give us a screen shot of what you are seeing.
Would it be possible for you to share the file that you cannot open?
You could send it to me privately.
Could you also please let us know what you were doing before the file got corrupted?
From which version did you upgrade by the way?
Thanks,
Ignacio

Photoshop keeps altering the canvas size for very exact measurements

I need exact measurements for the canvas size which has to be 704.55 mm in width. I noticed that when i create a new document and insert this size for the document width it changes to 704.51mm if I check out the canvas size under Image > Canvas size. Any explanation as to why it alters the canvas size for very exact dimensions?
Thank you

An image cannot consist of fractions of a pixel. Imagine you have an image that has a resolution of 3 ppi. That's 3 pixels within an inch of image. Now say you want a canvas size of 0.5 inches. That would mean an image consisting of 1.5 pixels, which is impossible. The image must be rounded to the nearest size that accomodates a whole pixel. You can either just decide that that's good enough (usually it is), or use a resolution so that your canvas size has more pixels that can be divided up into your desired size, then maybe you may be able to fit your resolution exactly into your canvas size.
