Resize to specific pixel dimensions

I want to use some images as background on my Palm TX. This has a screen of 480 x 320 pixels; the same ratio as my CR2 files.
How can I resize to 480 x 320? None of the options seem to work at pixel level.

thanks athegn
I read on a forum that some TX screens that were from a specific supplier to Palm are more blue toned. I guess that we both have that screen. I might try color adjusting again in PSE to compensate and if I find anything that works, I will post back here.

  • Resize to specific pixel size??

    I have photographs that need to be resized to 676 x 138 pixels exactly. I have tried just resizing them as normal but they go out of focus. I have also tried cropping them first, and then resizing, but I end up with white space down each side. Can anyone help?

    Just to add what 99join said , you can also use the Image Size dialog box to do the same. Just follow the following steps .
    1. Press  shortcut "ALT+ Ctrl+I" or go to Image>Size>Resize to open the Image Size dialog box.
    2.  Select "Resample Image" and "Scale Styles".
    3. Now enter the values 676 x 138 into the width and height textboxes and press "OK".

  • Cropping/resizing image by pixel dimensions

    I am trying to crop or resize an image that is originally 2,122 x 1,415 px | 7.1 x 4.7 in | 300 dpi. I am to crop/resize image to fit 756 x 275 px. However, I don't want to lose the whole image. I would like to use the whole image just adjust it to the dimensions.
    How can I accomplish this without creating any distortion or by removing elements by cropping the image?

    Hello Slange,
    may I propose a solution based on a more mathematical derivation, where I assume the height of 275 px is decisive. The way is the same, if the 765 px width is important.
    The reduced copy of 2122 x 1415 provides 412 x 275. To the wished 756 you need: 756 - 412 = 344. Splitting it into two parts I'll get 344 : 2 = 172. These I mount now (The black borders are only for better overview.) to an image with the wished measures 756 x 275:
    The white area you can fill it with any suitable color.

  • Help with creating an action - anto fit an image in a specific pixel size

    I am trying to create an action that takes the image in question and fits it with a specific pixel dimension. Some of the images are more horizontal in orientaion (like a school bus) and some are more on the vertical end (Like a tall building) They all need to be fit within a canvas size of 260 px x 196px. They need to keep the images original aspect ratio. Is there a way to do this with a single action, or do I need to create an action for vertical oriented images and one for horizontal orientated images?
    I hope that makes sense.
    Thanks,
    Dean

    Photoshop also ships with a plugin to do that. In CS5 Adobe added an option to it to not resize images if they fit.  If you do not use that option small images will be resize up in size like the image processor script.  There was a bug in that option I do not know if Adobe fixed that bug yet they may have.  If not it easy to fix if you know a little javascript. The plug-in was changed from a compiled plug-in in CS2 and earlier to a Photoshop Script in CS3 when Adpbe added plugin support into the Photoshop Scripting feature. The plugin has built in action support so you can use it in an action. When the Action is played back no dialog will be displayed the values use while recording the action were recorded into the action step by the plugin and will be used unless you make the action interactive by turning on the steps dialog. The image processor script is not a plug-in so it can not be automated.
    The plugin is menu File>Automate>Fit Image.......

  • Cannot crop to an exact pixel dimensions

    I am having a hard time cropping to an exact pixel dimensions upon export.  For my work, I need to crop to exactly 2166X1600, with a tolerance of no more than one pixel off of those dimensions, i.e. 2166X1599. 
    I set crop tool to 2166X1600 and crop all of my images.  On the export I constrain to largest dimension of 2166 in both horizontal and vertical directions. Results vary widely from right on 2166X1600 to several pixels off on the short side.  Sometimes more than 1600, and sometimes less.  Any thoughts as to why these constraints do not work exactly?  Some sets of images I have to redo as many as 25% of a gallery of 200-300 images.  Any thoughts?  Thanks!

    See, I don't need to crop the original image to 2166X1600.  I need a finished image at 2166X1600.  Meaning, in theory I should be able to crop an image to 1:1.35375 ratio, which is 2166X1600, and export to constrain to 2166 on the longest side.  When it's constrained to 2166, the short side should always be 1600.   
    Here's where the problem is...  When you set the crop window to 2166X1600, you expect that when you size your crop on your image that the only options for the boundary are multiples of 2166X1600.  In reality, the crop visual boundaries are approximate.  Here's an example...
    I have an image that I have cropped to a finished size of 3185X2350.  Which is based upon a 2166X1600 crop.  When I export it, I need the 3185 to become 2166.  So the long side is constrained to 2166, and it is reduced by a factor of 1.47.  3185/2166=1.47  If I reduce the short side, 2350, by that same factor of 1.47 you end up with a short side of 1598.  Which is why I have a problem.
    My invalid assumption was that when you set specific pixel dimensions in the crop tool, that only those values would be shown in the crop tool's bounding box.  Photoshop can do it...

  • How to crop to a specific aspect ratio, then resize to specific size?

    HI,
       I need a running start, could someone please help me accomplish a specific task.
    1) I need to be able to restrict a crop tool to a specific aspect ratio, then resize the cropping tool as I like to make my selection.
    2) After, I need to resize the image to a set size... (so all my pictures wind up the same size.)
    After I would normally set my text the way I like it and add text to every picture (so it is the same size in all photos.) and save them.
      I do this in Paintshop with ease, but do not see the kind of controls on the cropping tool, or a place to resize an image other than the save.
    I just purchased Photoshop/Lightroom so I am in this with both feet, I could really use the help to get started in this because I need to work on this now or  or go back to Paintshop until I can figure it out when I get the time.
    Thanks,
    It is not easy to ask for help.
    Kevin

    OK, first a basic explanation: LR is not like Paintshop or Photoshop because it is a Raw converter and all Raw converters work non-destructively. This means that any edits that you set in the Develop panel are not actually carried out on the original image file, but rather only recorded for future reference. That future moment comes when you export (create and output) a new tif, psd or jpg file, send an image to Photoshop or some other secondary editor, or send the image to a printer.
    Now for the cropping: Select the crop tool in the tool bar under the Develop histogram. A drop-down menu offers a selection of the more common aspect ratios or you can set a custom ratio. Use the X key to toggle between landscape and portrait orientations. Set the crop box to the size and location you want by dragging the corners and close it. The crop is recorded in the catalog database file and this info will be used when you export the image. Because no actual cropping and/or resizing is done until export, the resizing instructions are on the Export dialog. This way the same crop configuration can be used with differently resized exports. Tick the Resize box and put in the pixel dimensions you want. Alternately, put in a size in inches or centimeters and a pixels per inch (ppi) resolution and LR will calculate the pixel dimensions. If you are resizing, I'd highly recommend also enabling Output Sharpening. It is interactive with the resizing and automatically does the optimum sharpening for the amount (and type) of resampling being done.
    If you want a number of images to be the same size, export them all together by, after editing and cropping them, selecting them all in the Library grid or the filmstrip and then running the Export dialog

  • Is there any way to batch change resolution, but not pixel dimensions?

    I was changing the resolution of my digital photos from 180 to 300 ppi individually as I edited them, but sometimes I would forget. Since I need the higher resolution for printing, I decided to automate that step by using PSE's "Process Multiple Files" feature. I noted that the Resolution selection was grayed out until I checkmarked "Resize Images." Since I didn't want to change the number of pixels, I left those fields blank.
    When I started the automated processing I noticed it was terribly slow, so I cancelled it and looked at the resulting files. They had more than doubled in file size because PSE was nearly doubling the Pixel Dimensions! I don't want to try a work-around by "resizing" to the current pixel dimensions, because the processing still takes about 45 seconds per file, and if I've cropped the photos, the pixel dimensions vary. Is there an automated way to change only the resolution in PSE . . . quickly?
    Also, I really wanted to double the resolution from 180 ppi to 360 ppi, but PSE limits my choices to either 600 or 300 or less. I've read about Scripts, but I don't think PSE supports them. I have version 6.
    Thanks for some help.

    Thanks for your input, and you may be right, but I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure this out. I know it's the same photo on my monitor, but I keep reading that print resolution (ppi) is different from pixel resolution (i.e. 2000x3000.) This is my situation-- I'm sending the photos to a publisher for printing in a book. The publisher did not specify a size in inches--in fact I think the photos will be different sizes when printed on the page. They told me to send the photos in at 1600x1200 pixels. I've heard that 300 ppi is the standard resolution for publishing, so to get decent quality printing of my photos I thought I should increase the resolution from 180 to 300. But thinking about the different sizes, it seems that the resolution (ppi) will change depending on the size the photo is actually printed. At 300 ppi, a 1600x1200 photo will be printed at size 5.333" X 4". If a photo is printed full bleed on the cover of the book that is 8" x 10.667", then it will be 150 ppi. So, I guess you are right that I don't need to worry about the ppi resolution for the book photos.
    Now, let me figure about what I need to print my own 4x6 photos. My digital camera was set to 16x9 jpg, so my workflow is to make PNG copies to work with and after editing, save them in the 16x9 format before cropping at 1600x1200 pixels, then sharpening before doing Save As jpg in Book folder. I was thinking I needed to change the resolution to 300 ppi when saving in the 16x9 format so if I want to later make 4x6 prints, I'll have good quality prints. But you have made me think a little harder--what I do is choose the 4x6 crop tool which takes care of whatever ppi resolution is needed for that size print. Oh good, you have saved me extra work. Thanks!
    (BTW, I choose the 16x9 format because I was planning to use the photos in a widescreen slideshow, but my husband wanted something he could hold in his hand--hence, the book . . . and a lot of cropping!)

  • Sort by file size and/or pixel dimensions

    I am constantly frustrated by the lack of ability to sort by file size or pixel dimension. I have many versions of the same images, and often want to find the biggest one, or one of a certain size, and it's very time consuming to have to scan all the numbers in the metadata instead of being able to sort. Please add this.
    Thanks!

    DevMeta will allow you to filter/collect by width and height dimensions.
    PixelCountMetadata will allow you to filter/collect by total number of pixels (width x height).
    Now that I'm thinking about it, I should probably have just added the pixelcount metadata to DevMeta, but I didnt..., yet...
    PS - I dont use PixelCountMetadata, since I only have originals in Lightroom. All resized copies are kept outside of Lightroom. Consider TreeSync if you regularly keep variously sized copies at the ready for various purposes... And, lastly, ExportManager will help you keep all your trees up2date, if you have more than one.
    I then use ACDSee to find photos in the exported copies or run slideshows, or serve on the house net, or email...

  • Pixel dimensions & document size

    Why do the pixel dimensions change the document size when the "resample image
    " box is selected?  I want the pixel size to be 2400 x 3000 and the image size to be 8 x 10in.
    Any ideas why I can't change the pixel dimensions without the system changing my document size to something other than the 8x10 that I want?  Thanks!

    Why do the pixel dimensions change the document size when the "resample image

    Because that's exactly what "resample image" means.

    Probably because your document is not 8x10 aspect ratio to begin with. If the photo is not 8x10 aspect ratio, then resize will not get you there (unless you want to distort your photo). You must first crop your image to 8x10 aspect ratio, and then if necessary resize.

  • What are the pixel dimensions for creating an Apple ibook book cover?

    I'm trying to create a book cover for Apple ibooks, what are the pixel dimensions requirements?

    Thanks again.
    Apple seems to have made it more confusing than it should be.
    As an aside, the Apple documentation contradicts itself.
    Cover art (also known as a marketing image or jacket) should be at least 1400 pixels along the smaller axis and must be a JPEG or PNG file in RGB Color mode.
    This clearly says the shorter side must be at least 1400 pixels. The next sentence says this:
    For an average trade paperback, this could be 400 x 1400 minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide.
    That doesn't make sense, seeing that the shorter side is supposed to be at least 1400 pixels, meaning it should say "1400 x 4900" for the same aspect ratio.
    ...I did notice this too.
    So, if as you say, that the Cover Art and Cover image terms are the same and the 2 million limit does not apply, then it is unclear to me why Apple sent this message to me about cover file being rejected
    "Action Required: Your book could not be delivered to the iBookstore.
    The following images are larger than two million pixels and must be resized:
    Full ePub: Cover_xyz.jpg "
    I'll probably need to have the cover file in epub and Cover Image for Asset in iTunes Producer be named differently (but be copies of the same file) so I can understand which one is the "problem" file.
    And finally, why does Apple refer to Cover Art twice here and then end in last sentence with Cover Image if they are the same ( and if they are the same why not state "this cover image").
    "Cover art (also known as a marketing image or jacket) should be at least 1400 pixels along the smaller axis and must be a JPEG or PNG file in RGB Color mode. For an average trade paperback, this could be 400 x 1400 minimum size, as the books are generally taller than they are wide. For best results, deliver the largest pixel dimensions possible. When possible, match cover art to the cover contained in the book file. The 2 million pixel maximum does not apply to the cover image".

  • Building automation to Resize by fileweight and dimension. I'm so close. Any ideas?

    Greetings,
    I'm pretty new to the JS world but have been using Photoshop for the better part of 2 decades and have ALWAYS wanted something that would let me set filesize/weight limitations. The world appears to have given up before me (which should be a sign to stop?) but I can't give up now; that, and my employer has asked me to figure this out. So here I am asking for your help.
    Here's a gist of the code I have. It is "sorta" working but for some reason with larger file sizes it seems to make the file larger, then smaller etc etc. and loops infinitely. I'm thinking somehow it keeps grabbing an older version of the file, and possibly my problem might be in the saving procedure. ANY input would be extermely welcome, including suggestions on how to accomplish things more elegantly etc.
    https://gist.github.com/anonymous/95374b5e3db88261ce4c
    Basically I need to get the file down below 95k. First by lowering quality (because it is all that is necessary for MOST of the files I am handing in) to a limit of 50% then begin lowering size by 72px until the lower limit of pixel dimension it met.
    Ideas?

    Michael, any chance you have some of that code floating around? I'd like to see how you wizards tackled it vs what my mundane self is up to. I wonder if there's a way I can pass the SaveForWeb adjusted files to an automator app or a standard Photoshop action for the resizing bit, since that process is much simpler. Maybe that would help route around that file caching issue; if that is in fact what the problem was. I have noticed no issues with the first While loop handling everything down to 50% quality, but it seems like the passing from one loop to the next is where things get wonky. Ugh I know just enough JS to break things. So frustrating being so close to an answer!

  • Pixel dimensions / file size

    I am trying to publish a photo to a website with specific limits for pictures. How can I adjust pixel dimensions and file size using iphoto?

    Hi wrigjef: Try this: iPhoto open, select the picture(s) you wish to work with, from the "File" menu, select Export. The resultant dialog box will give you several options for pixel dimension, file size etc. After files have been saved to the specified location they can be then up-loaded to the website.
    Hope this helps

  • Show pixel dimensions during crop

    Good Morning,
    I need to be able to see the pixel dimensions while I'm cropping.  I clicked on the "Info" pallet and it shows this in inches, however, I didn't see how to change it to pixels.  For some website work I need to set images to specific pixel sizes and yet be able to move around the image to crop where I need at these dimensions.
    I also did a search here and in PS help - nothing found.
    Thanks for your help,
    Captain 1854

    Set the Mouse co-ordinates to pixels in the drop-down menu in the Info palette.

  • Pixel dimensions

    How can I see pixel dimensions while I'm cropping an image. I work primarily with images for the Web and frequently I'll reduce an image to a fixed width, say 600 px, then crop it and want to see height. Primarily so I can a series of images of the same dimensions. I can't seem to be able to find the pixel dimensions as I'm cropping so I can get the 600 px wide picture to, say, 400 px height or 300 px height.

    I don't think you can see the image size while you are still cropping the image.  However, when the image is cropped and saved at something else some other file name to avoid overwriting the original file you can then go to:
    Image >> Resize >> Image Size
    Image >> Resize >> Canvas Size
    This tells you what the image size is and how much more you want to resize it to meet your requirements.
    Hope this helps.

  • Pixel dimensions of screen?

    Im making a slideshow of photos and want to use iMovie. Anyone know the exact pixel dimensions of the screen so i can make the images fit?
    Thanks in advance.

    It all depends on what you mean by "make the images fit".
    iMovie 4 accepts any photo with a 4:3 aspect ratio, e.g. 1600 x 1200, and resizes it to fill the iMovie frame.
    But that's not true with iMovie HD. iMovie HD pillarboxes a 4:3 image imported to a DV-type project -- adds black bars to the right and left sides. If you are okay with that, then virtually any photo with a 4:3 ratio will be fine.
    If you don't want pillarboxing, however, you have to 1) crop the image to some other aspect ratio before importing to iMovie HD; or 2) increase the Ken Burns zoom so Ken Burns crops the image.
    (Pillarboxing may not be a problem if you plan to view the slideshow on a 4:3 TV. The black bars may be hidden by the TV Safe Area. But if you plan to view it in QuickTime or on a widescreen TV, you may want to avoid the black bars.)
    Lots more here:
    Karl Petersen, "iMovie- Pictures become blurry after import" #14, 07:46pm Apr 19, 2005 CDT
    Note that the recommended photo sizes depends on the type of iMovie HD project you create.
