Resized & resampled image problems in Elements 5.0 on xp

I'm having trouble with resize & resample images (trying to make them much smaller) so I can place multiple images onto a PDFpage at predetermined individual specific physical sizes thereby avoiding resizing the images within the PDF document, of which I understand is a NoNo for getting it commercially printed. When I resize & resample an image and set the physical dimensions of the image it prints as a test print to the size I have set/want. The problem arises after I have saved the image & then try to insert it into my document. The saved image file when inserted is still or very close to the same physical size as before I resized & resampled it. - So what am I not doing or doing wrong. I have checked the file size in Windows Explorer and the actual file size is only a fraction of what the original is. The image has been reduced from 3200KB to 109KB, confirming I have at least reduced something within the file, just not what I wanted to. When I reopen the file in Elements and print it it is still the size I want, so why isn't it the right size when I insert it into a document. I have read the help files and don't understand what I am doing wrong, Please help.

Hi,
I suspect that the resolution of the file is getting changed instead of dimensions. So, the file size is decreasing but the dimensions are remaining the same.
Please confirm that you are resizing the image as follows:
1. Open the image
2. Go to Image -> Resize -> Image Size
3. Select the option Resample Image
4. Now provide the new dimensions in Width & Height
5. Click OK and save the image
Now try importing on the PDF page.
Thanks,
Tarun

Automated Resizing of Images in Photoshop Elements 9

I recently upgraded my wife's Photoshop Elements from version 6 to version 9. However, there is one feature from version 6 that seems to not work in version 9. When she drags an image into a blank template (of any size), the image drags in to the template in the full size. So if the images are three times larger than the template, she has to resize every image after she drags them in which is a pain for her. Previously in PSE6, when she dragged the image into the blank template, the program would automatically resize the image to fit within the window. Then she could resize the iamge if she needed to. It seems that there should be a setting for this, but I am coming up with nothing. Anybody know of a solution to this?

You didn't say if your on mac or windows, so you may not be familar
with the elements organizer. The following workaround works on windows pse9,
if your on a mac it may also.
1. In the elements organizer, select (highlight) the photos you want to use.
    (don't open the photos into the elements editor, just select them)
2. Back in the elements editor, with the project bin open, choose
   Show Files Selected in the Organizer.
3. When you drag the photos from the project bin into your document, they should resize
   similar to pse6.
   If they are still to big, step back one step in the undo history panel from Transform the Frame to Place.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
I have had the 7d for 4 years or more.
The images downloaded before from the 7d, we're ok and still look ok, it is only in the past month this has happened and it is not with every image it is intermittent. Some are clear then others on the same shoot have the problem. It is even more exaggerated when printed.
I have tried Zoom browser and it is less evident on there but still shows.
I am shooting both with Raw & Jpeg and I think it shows in both.
Being a mean Scotsman I grudge having paid for Photoshop Elements and not getting the good of it.
I have tried Adobe on line but no luck and they ask me to pay for an annual contract before they will give me technical support, which is about £100.
I appreciate your assistance and any further help.
Best wishes,
Mike

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

Hi Peru Bob,
I've tried two images, the results were:
Image 1
Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
Image 2
Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

Multiple Upload Image Problem - Resize GIF files

The Multiple Image Upload script seems to handle .jpg images without problems.
However, .gif files return the error:
"Error converting image (image resize). Image processing library not available or does not support operation. (imagemagick library is not working or not found)."
The problem is caused by the fact that script that I'm using tries to pass a parameter that is not valid for gif processing:
myimage.gif' '-quality' '80'
The "quality" parameter works only for jpeg and .png files as described here:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/command-line-options.php#quality
Please ensure that the script makes difference between .gif and .jpeg files and use the correct parameters so we can resize the images properly.
Thanks in advance,
Márcio

Hi Marcio,
>>
Can you tell me the inconveniance of using GD instead of Imagemagick, or its, shortly similar?
>>
sorry, but never worked with ImageMagick so far, so I can´t compare
>>
The "quality" parameter works only for jpeg and .png files as described here
>>
yeah, it seems that this is a small bug in ADDT´s "includes/common/lib/image/KT_Image.class.php" file. Was just checking the code in there, and indeed it adds this extra parameter regardless the image type -- but I do have an idea how this file can be modified to not use this parameter if the file in question has the suffix ".gif".
If you feel a little adventurous, I´ll happily invite you to modify some code in this file -- please let me know if you´re ready for some instructions. However, if so, please make a backup of this file first...

Problem with photoshop automatically resizing placed images

Hi,
I have PS6. I have images that are 144x100 px. When I use file>place ps resizes the image to 108x75. I can't figure out how to make ps quit resizing my pictures. Anybody know?
Thanks

When Pasting, Dragging, copying and placing an image Photoshop will copy all of the image being duplicated original pixels to preserve the image pixel quality the image quality. If the receiving document has a different DPI resolution the image may look a different size in the receiving documents because of the number of pixels added to the document that has a lower or higher dpi resolution. If the image is being placed in if the image pixels exceeds the receiving documents canvas size. Photoshop may scale the smart object layer to fit within the canvas that depends on the users Photoshop's preference. All of the images original pixels are still there in the embedded object. In my Photoshop Collage Scripts I always transform all placed images to 100% size incase Photoshop scaled the placed image. For you can not get the scale percent Photoshop used. Once I know I have the image at 100% size I can use the layer bounds to get the actual number of pixels there are in the placed image. Once I know that I can calculate the scale I need to use to resize the image to fit the area being populated in the collage template. Once resized I center it into place and mask off any excess image pixels.

Photoshop CC: Have a template that I moved image into. Image is too small. How do I resize the image while in the template? Or must I go to original image file and resize there again and again until I get the right fit?

I have a template that I am able to plug different pictures into at different times. The problem is that when I plug an image into that template, I find that the image is either too big or too small. Is there a way to plug the image into the template and resize the image (and not the template itself) OR will I have to go to the file with the original image and resize it there and then try to plug it in to the template to see if it fits------and if it does not fit, go back to the original file with the image and resize it again and see if that fits---and so on and so on...........? I have tried the" image size" option but it's hit or miss------mostly miss!
Thanks!

Read up on Smart Objects. It looks like you have no idea as to how to create and use them.
Jut create a Smart Object from the layer containing whatever it image it is that you are "plugging into your template". But you do need to learn the application at its most basic levels.
Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve. You cannot learn Photoshop in a forum, one question at a time.
Or is it possible that you don't even have Photoshop proper but the stripped-down Photoshop Elements?"
If the latter is the case, you're in the wrong forum. This is not the Elements forum.
Here's the link to the forum you would want if you're working in Elements.:

If you do have Photoshop proper, please provide the exact version number of that application and of your OS.

How do i compress an image in PS elements 12

I have a 6000 x 4000 pixel jpg image. The file size is way too large, around 10 megabytes. I cant figure out how to convert this to a 3000 x 2000 pixel image using PS elements 12. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Make sure your in the Expert mode in the pse 12 editor.
Go to Image>Resize>Image Size.
Check Constrain Proportions and Resample Image
Under Pixel Dimensions type in 3000 for the width
(the other number will be entered because you have constrain proportions checked)

Resizing an Image using pixels

Hi I used to use Photoshop CS4 on another computer. I resize a lot of my images to 1024 pixel width. Howver in Photoshop Elements 7 (which I have just bought) and I can't find out how to resize the image using pixels as the units. I am doing 'Image Resize' It has a lot of units to choose from e.g. inches/picas/points. But no pixels. Please help! Thank you very much.
Rich

The top section is pixels. Turn on Resample Image and you can make changes there.

How do I resize an image by pixels instead of by inches?

Hi all!
I just bought Elements 10 for Mac. I want to resize images to a certain number of pixels wide/high but I don't see how to do that. The Resize option is showing the image sizes in inches. There is not a pixel option in the drop down list.
Thanks in advance!

When you go to Image>Resize>Image Size, you will need to turn on Resample Image to make the pixels area in the window active so that you can change it.

Why when I resize an image does it looks less sharp and poor quality?

I've been using Photoshop since CS3 and have never had thus problem before. I used to create websites using WordPress for clients and have created many different logo images without any issues. Now however I'm doing it for muself and I'm having problems when I resize the images for web use.
Here are a few examples. The first is a 1400x1400 image that I'm going to use for a podcast. iTunes requires this size and it looks good to my eye. When you look at the resized image however you'll see that it is not quite as sharp.
1400x1400 http://d.pr/i/SrtJ
300x300 http://d.pr/i/IqtI
Logo at http://safetydad.net
Twitter page http://twitter.com/thesafetydad
I've tried all different things to get it to look good at any size but no mater what when the image gets resized (especially by a CMS or Twitter) it looks like crap. I've tried saving as png, jpeg, flatteing before resizing, resizing the psd, saving as jpeg then resizing, using save for web option but no matter what it doesn't look right.
What am I doing wrong?

When you scale down, you will lose some of the sharpness because it is removing pixels from the image, and Photoshop is trying to figure out how to remove pixels, and reassemble the edges of the image.. As a result, when some of that shading is removed, it begins to blur. Make sure when scaling down an image (image - image size) that you set the resampling to bicubic sharper. This will help to reduce the blur from the pixel removal.
Also, you can go to filter - sharpen - unsharp mask - and work on bringing back some of the sharpness there as well.
For your twitter logo - I would make a separate logo for it, because the text is difficult to read over it. Sorry - just my opinion there.
You may have tried these things already - but if not - hopefully it helps
On the other note - I think you might be hyper-critical of the changes...

Resizing an image for the web

Have been using an old version of Photoshop but am now using Photoshop Elements 8 and I need to 'resize' images so I can save them for website but can't seem to do so. The old system was so easy - you just clicked 'resize image' and altered the pixel width or height and it just did it! Can anyone help me please

It should work the same in photoshop elements 8.
Make sure in the image size dialog you have Resample Image checked along with Constrain Proportions.
Photoshop elements 8 also has a File>Save for Web option where you resize the image and see the estimated size at the same time.

When I resize an image 4-5 times it blurs automatica

Can someone please please HELP !!!
When I paste an image into Fireworks and start to resize it
using the mouse. The image starts to blur. The more and more I
resize it say 4-5 times the image becomes un clear. It seems there
is an automatic blur on the image. Never set anything. It does for
every image. If you try opening a jpg or bmp in fireworks and start
to resize it using mouse (drag window to appropriate size) you will
notice the image becomes blurry. Why is this ? Driving me nuts !!!
Please reply ASAP.
many thanks
Dean

That is exactly what everyone has been saying.
Make it smaller - you resample the image. Now those pixels
are
lost,period. So when you make it bigger there is a lot less
information
therefore the original quality is no longer there.
If you need to, play around with the size of an image until
it fits the
design by changing the size back and forth. Once you are
satisfied with
the design reimport the image one more time and ONCE make it
the right
size. Or use senocular's tip on making the image a symbol
first.
btw, at you will also get image distortion with your method
in Photoshop.
