Resize and Resample in Photoshop CC

Hi.
I use Photoshop since 1997 and jump from CS5 to CC this week. What I used to do sometimes is taking a 150dpi image and need to make it 72dpi, BUT I really want it to change pixels dimension. In PS CS5 I just needed to go to "Image Resize" and change 150 do 72dpi, and PS kept the Cm/Inches dimensions but changed pixels. Is exactly what I need to do. I PS CC it doesn't work, if I change dpi it will only change image size in Cm/Inches.
And example, I have an Illustrator file, 800x800px. I export it as 150dpi JPG, opens in PS. It will show an image like 1667x1667px 150dpi. I want to change it to 72dpi so my JPG will be 800x800px again.
Some people will say: "but why don't you already export from ILL as 72dpi?". Because I sometimes need those images in 150 and sometimes in 72. So I prefer to have a 150dpi image and resize to 72 if I need instead the opposite.
Do you know if there is a way in PS CC to solve it?
Thanks,
Luiz

DPI PPI  and an image's DPI resolution setting and Inkjet Printers DPI Resolution setting ???
Dots Per Inch is an old printers term that came about when images were printed black and white using little dots of inks fined dots finer sharper images it density of dots size of dots image like news papers.  Later color image usinf 4 colors CMYK...
Pixels Per Inch a term use about displays color pixels are three color Red Green Blue their geometry layout varies and some have even added a fourth yellow component  again its a density size display are manufactured with a single PPI density.  Different displays panels have their manufactured PPI. Most desktop LCD panels today have a ppi around 100.  Displays do not support your Image Files DPI resolution setting the display pixels their PPI size.  Image sizing on displays is done by scaling  the numbers of pixels in a image a displaying the scaled image not the actual images pixel. Zooming percent....
Inkjets printers do not print like news papers and the do not use a single drop or dot of ink per image pixel.  The user their higher finer drops of ink to paint in you images larger square pixels. You inkjet printer can print pixels and siy up to the maximum resolution. Your printer DPI setting is a quality setting the higher the setting the finer the pixels will be painted in.  Higher quality settings are only available on high quality Photo paper for more ink is laid down and requires a special surface to prevent ink running pixels together regular paper would receive to much ink and be more a blotter paper.
Image DPI setting defines/sets the image Pixel size without changing a single pixel in am image you can print the image any size you want by changing the size of its pixels.

  • Resize AND resample... in what order?

    Hello all.  I've had to resample images up a bit on occasion for use at larger sizes (i.e. placement in Illustartor or INDesign at a larger size) and have done that with good results. However, I have a different situation now.
    I have an image that is 300 dpi. I am working on a huge display in InDesign, and I've had to place this image at 392%, which gives me an effective dpi of 76.
    The display company I'm working with wants the image placed at 100%, but needs only 100 effective dpi due to the nature of their technology.
    So I think what I need to do is both:
    - reSIZE the image to 392% AND
    - reSAMPLE the image to be 100 dpi.
    I believe this will have to be a two-step process using the Image Size palette. My question is, in what order do I take these two steps and what settings do I use in the Image SIze palette to get the best results?
    Using Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 on Mac OS 10.6.8.  Thank you!

    What they want is a 100 ppi image (you open it in Photoshop, go to Image Size and it says:the Resolution (in Document Size) is 100 pixels/inch. They want that image placed in InDesign at 100%-- not 125%, not 359%. They're trying to keep their processing time to a minimum by requiring that the resizing be done before image placement, rather than within the InDesign layout program, thereby minimizing the complexity of the art file and the amount of additional processing InDesign and their output program(s) need to handle.
    They don't CARE about the pixel dimensions.
    From the point of view of the display printing company... it's not their responsibility to scold customers for sending poor images. They receive images at all levels of quality, I'm sure.
    And I don't have time, responsibility or inclination to protect them by creating sample images and pointing out that their guidelines don't cover the gamut of crappy images that their customers may send. And no, I am not the one who chose this display printing company. I am helping out someone in a different department of our own company. She choses who prints their displays.
    The request I received was to take the images I've been given (and the "standards" under which those images were taken are also completely out of my control, so please don't go there) and make them look as good as possible while sending images within the specifications the display print company HAS set. I DO care about pixel size; however, I didn't know the best way to get to what they need with minimal degradation to existing picture quality.
    Sigh. Never mind. I'll figure it out the best way to get a 300 ppi image placed at 392% in InDesign downsized to 100 ppi and placed in InDesign at 100%. It's late on a Friday, I'm covering for several people, and I thought someone might already have encountered such a scenario.
    (BTW, I don't know why you made the assumption about "junior worker". I have expertise in some things, not as much in others. As is the case for everyone else in the world. And in these days of downsizing a lot of us are forced to wear hats that are not so familiar--and carefully choose the circumstances when rabble rousing might be worth the repercussions. This ain't one of those circumstances...)

  • Resizing and resampling

    1. when do you want to keep the resample checkbox checked when changing the size of an image?
    2. When typing a new resolution with resample checked, why does the top pixel dimensions change, though the document size does not?
    3. If I type in a higher resolution with resample unchecked, it makes the image smaller, though the image now has a higher resolution. Does this mean that the same number of pixels are now just being used in the smaller image?
    Any help is appreciated.

    1. when do you want to keep the resample checkbox checked when changing the size of an image?
    If you have to ask, then I would say (almost) never. Resampling changes the number of pixels making up your image. Resampling can improve or completely degrade your file. Yet Adobe has it checked by default. I can't tell you how many clients I have had come to me with totally ruined images because of resampling an image without knowing what they were doing.
    2. When typing a new resolution with resample checked, why does the top
    pixel dimensions change, though the document size does not?
    Document size should change... where are you seeing that information showing it does not? The PS Image Size dialog will show the open document size above the pixel dimension. With Resample checked, any changes in pixel width or height should reflect in the document size.
    3. If I type in a higher resolution with resample unchecked, it makes
    the image smaller, though the image now has a higher resolution. Does
    this mean that the same number of pixels are now just being used in the
    smaller image?
    YES!!

  • Skew, Warp, Resize and Nest a video in Photoshop???

    I would like to know how to skew, warp and resize a video inside of photoshop cs4.  I would also like to know how to nest multiple video files into one file.
    I am new to Photoshop, I am looking for some tutorials but unable to find any.
    Thanks

    Marian, thanks for the advice.
    Thou I understand your point, very well about screwdriver vs hammer, that was not my question in my post.  I asked a straight forward question about how to Skew, Warp, Resize and Nest a video in Photoshop.  Not which is the best software to use for this task.
    If you know the answer, share the knowledge, is this not what this forum is for or am I in the wrong place???  Before suggesting which tool is best for me to use, try understanding what I want to build first.  This makes all the difference. 
    As I have already proven to myself I don’t need a new tool to accomplish the task I had at hand.  If I took your advice, I and my company would have wasted money on a software that we did not need in the first place.
    Understand your client needs first before giving advice.  Sometimes a hammer is all it takes, if you use right.
    I don’t need to study more on video production, this is not my job.  All I wanted to know was how to edit a video in Photoshop.
    I hope we are not off on the wrong foot because I feel I could learn a lot from you but you need to take the time to understand the question before shooting from the hip with an answer.

  • 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)

  • Problem resizing UI text in Photoshop CC

    I cannot resize UI fonts in Photoshop CC (icons, menu headings etc) - or rather I succeeded in resizing them once, moving from tiny to medium, and since then cannot change. I am using a 27 inch iMac running Windows 8.1. Altering settings in Windows does not solve the problem. Nor does forcing Photoshop to rebuild the preferences file under the roaming directory
    Menu subheads appear smaller than the main navigation
    Has anyone else experienced this bug? There seem to be many issues surrounding Photoshop CC UI display
    UPDATE
    A second resizing has now occurred, back to tiny. Subheads in menus remain unchanged - now significantly bigger than the Menu heads

    Thank you for replying
    I did restart, yes, many many times. And the change to a much larger font (and back again) happened without warning in the midst of these restarts. Almost certainly there is a  bug of some kind because the software behavior was not predictable.
    I tried the experimental setting after reading your message and found that it moved me back and forth between the medium and tiny fonts already seen (at least I assume that is what they were - one is too big the other too small). It is not a sophisticated tool. I need something between the two. Is there a way of setting it in some intermediate scale (call it 'small'), or is there no solution within Photoshop?
    I did not have this problem on my old iMac. The only change between the two machines is that the new one is retina display.

  • How do I resize an image in Photoshop CS2?

    Hi! I'm trying to resize an image in Photoshop Cs2 with OUT making it grainy or blurred. Please help!? I know there's some key you can hold down while dragging with the mouse but eh I forgot it! o_0 please help!

    Jody...
    If you have a vector version of the logo, the smartest thing is to resize it as vectors to the size you want, and
    then
    rasterize it.
    Case in point:
    I was trying to make a 16px × 16px favicon for my blogspot site, and the only way I could get the details to appear nice and clean was to create the entire thing from shape layers, transform them all in one go to fit inside a 16px × 16px box I defined using guidelines, and THEN rasterize it using the Save For Web dialogue.

  • Adobe camera raw window won't resize and can't reach buttons

    When I open an image from bridge into adobe camera raw 6.1 (Photoshop CS5) on my laptop, the camera raw window fills all of the screen (top to bottom) and the buttons at the bottom of the window are below the task bar. Thus I can't open the image in photoshop except by hitting the enter key. I can't reach the open, etc buttons. The window won't resize and there are no icon/buttons in the right upper corner to go to/from full screen. When I hit the icon in the top right hand menu bar in ACR (to go to full screen size) the window then fills the whole width of the screen in addition to the height, but no matter what I do I can't get the height of the window to shrink, so that I can access the icons at the bottom of the screen. What am I missing? Thanks

    Don't worry about turning aero off just yet.
    There are two key first questions:
    What is your screen resolution (width in pixels x height in pixels)?  Right-click on desktop, choose Screen Resolution.
    What setting have you chosen for the display size (Smaller, Medium, Larger) in the Display dialog?  Right-click on desktop, choose Personalize, then Display.

  • Transforming layer and mask in Photoshop CC

    I've just upgraded to photoshop CC. I'm trying to resize (i.e. transform) a layer with a layer mask. I want to transform them together (the layer is linked to mask as it usually would vein this case). But when I transform it the layer gets resized independently from the mask, it's acting as if the layer and the mask are unlinked. If I click on the layer mask and resize, the same thing happens - it resizes independently of the layer itself. Why is this happening? And how do I now resize and layer and it's mask together??

    Have you tried converting that layer to a Smart Object and then resizing? (right click>Convert to Smart Object)

  • Resizing and scaling all content to the artboard

    Hi
    I have about 150 files of various sizes. They all have different content and need to be resized to 5cm x 5cm (2.5in x 2.5in) so they can be compatible with an online system of mine.
    I have succesfully made a script that opens every file in the directory with the files, then resizes their artboard to my required size. Thats part of the manual labor taken out of the job.
    But how do I make the script resize and scale all content to the artboard, irrespective of the size of the content initially? Similar to how you might scale an image in Photoshop? I've seen bits and peices of code around that can resize and scale text objects and the like, but what about all content in the file?

  • 3d modeling and texturing in Photoshop CS3 Extended

    I spent longer than I care to admit today trying to figure out how to get a model into Photoshop and texture it.  I couldn't find any native tools for modeling or texturing, which led me to do these things in external tools, relying on Photoshop for compositing and rendering.  Hopefully future versions of Photoshop will make this easier.
    I first tried Google Sketchup, but was having trouble figuring out how to texture and UV map the model, so I turned to Discreet's GMax.  A few years back, Discreet released a free version of 3D Studio MAX without the rendering or exporting features, targeted at game developers.  GMax's interface is just like 3D Studio MAX, so if you have any experience there, you're golden.
    The trick is getting the file out of GMax and into Photoshop without ruining the textures.  To do this, I used Baltram's ASE Exporter, which is a script that traces the geometry of your model into the MAXScript console.  You can then copy/paste this into a text file, with an ASE extension, or use GMaxSLGrab to do it for you.  Finally, I used Biturn to convert from ASE to 3DS, and imported into Photoshop using File>Open.
    GMax -> http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax
    Biturn -> http://mirex.mypage.sk/FILES/bi088.rar
    ASE Exporter -> http://urnemanden.com/dload/asc+aseExpv2.11_en.ms
    Note: GMax is intended for use by the independent/homebrew game community.  If this is not your intention, you may want to check the GMax EULA.  I am not responsible for any use of the above information to violate it - proceed at your own risk.
