Resizing a photo image in CS6
Please forgive me if this is a duplicate posting. I'm new to using this resource. Just want to be sure my question is getting to the right place for qualified responses.
Here is my dilemma. I'm very anal about this and was able to solve the problem in CS3. But I've lost the instructions and need help. What I want to do:
When I resize (or resample) an image to 30 inches wide for printing I want the image on my screen in CS6 to be exactly 30 inches wide. Thusly I am able to see a true representation of my final sharpening. As it is now... if I resize it to 30 inches it actually shows up at approx. 24-1/2 inches wide on screen. Is there someone out there who knows the magical trick to adjust this in CS6 as I was able to do in CS3? Thanks to all.
Thanks for your response. I will try to explain a little better. I
understand what you are saying about not being able to display the whole
image when shown at 100%. However, that's not what my intention is. My
intention is to click on "print size" in CS6. Now, I now that a 30" print
shown at an exact size of 30" will be 6" to big to view the whole image on
a 24" monitor. That's ok. I can scroll from side to side a bit to view it
all. But I really don't need to view it all at once... just the areas that
I want to sharpen for the final product to be transferred to a CD or DVD
disc for printing purposes. As I mentioned, a number of years ago when I
first started with CS3 I was able to Google an answer to my question.
Unfortunately in this respect I just got a new computer and CS6 to go along
with it. But I cannot find the formula I used previously to make this
work. Again, I know that at 100% it would be way to large for any
purpose. I just want to see a re-sized 30" image show up 30" wide on the
monitor. I can then be very precise with my sharpening. Thanks again for
your response.

Photo/Edit-In CS6. psd image does not show in LR after save/close.
Whenever I edit (a copy) of an image in Photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 4.3 (Photo/Edit-In), after I save and close the image in CS6 the new psd image does not show in Lightroom. In order to see the image in Lightroom, I need to close Lightroom and then reopen Lightroom. It is almost like Lightroom needs to "refresh". Does anyone have a solution that does not require me to close Lightroom? I have tried to use View/Sort by extension, filename, edit time, etc. with no effect.
This should not be so. I'm assuming that you do a <save> in CS6 - as opposed to <save as>. Only with <save> the image file will automatically be imported in Lr while <save as> creates a new file that Lr "knows" nothing about until you import it (for instance via "Synchronize folder").
If the behavior you describe follows a <save> in CS6 it is not normal.
This could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr does not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

Hello
I have problems uploading photos in Illustrator CS6.
I can not resize it free.
can someone help me there or tell me where I have to apply?Steve,
I did say, and mean,
I rustier in German than Steve may be ~ I may be rustier in German than Steve.
inspired by the German word order, or the little green guy with the long ears, or something.
French is quite a bit further down my language list (limited to small bits), the main source of understanding/recognizing being the corresponding loan words in English.
At least some years ago I could read and understand all the half/full page German sentences effortlessly, but even then I was banned from helping our kids with any German homework. -

Is it possible to resize a photo in iPhoto--controlling the maximum dimensions and the dpi?
is it possible to resize a photo in iPhoto--controlling the maximum dimensions and the dpi?
The dpi depends on the print size you'll be making. This explains it in detail: The Myth of DPI.
A 300 dpi image for a 4x6 print will have fewer pixels in it than a 300 dpi image for an 8. 10 print.
You can set the pixel dimension of a photo by exporting it via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option and use the Custom size setting. However, you should crop the photo to the size ratio you want before exporting, i.e 4 x 6, 5 x 7, etc. Then set the maximum pixel size you want for the image:

Resizing multiple photos in Photoshop
I am trying to resize multiple photos by using the batch option. I have created an action and then go into batch and select that action. It's not working. Anybody have any ideas on how I can resize my photos all at once??
It sounds as if the Action is not correctly recorded. Have you tested it on a single image?
Is there a Stop" in it?

Photo image : size reduction software
HI !
I want to reduce sizes of photo images i.e. jpeg, gif files of few GB's into less than 100KB. Need free / paid software compatible to MAC OS X 10.6.8.Do you really mean image files of a few Gigabites? I doubt there are many apps that can handle that size of an image file and the machine would have to have many GBs of memory to even consider using it? Was that a type and you mean a few MBs?
Going from 2 GB down to 100 KB or less is nearly impossible and still get a decent image. This is an 4.3 MB file compressed to 100 KB with no reduction in the image (pixels) size.
This is the original file:
Click on them to see what they look like full sized. The edited version is showing pixelation in the sky and other areas.
This was done with iResize at 15% quality (jpeg compression) level. It was the only file resize I had that would get it down below 300 KB. Even Photoshop CS3 couldn't get it down below 230 KB. -
How do I resize a photo in iphoto and keep it in iphoto library

So in windows I can resize a photo and leave it where it is. Why can't I do this in iphoto?
iPhoto - either on your Mac or on IOS devices, is designed as an application with a lossless workflow. All adjustments and edits are guaranteed to be reversible. You will always be able to revert to the original image. And that would be impossible, if iPhoto allowed you to clandestinely exchange the image file in the place where the photo is stored. iPhoto would not know how to undo the changes you did without using iPhoto to do them. If you do not need a digigal assets management program with a lossless workflow, don't use iPhoto - then you'd be better off with something like Picasa. -
How do I upload a photo from PS CS6 to flickr?
How do I upload a photo from PS CS6 to flickr?
You have to save it and either use the flickr uploader or do it directly from flickr
http://www.flickr.com/photos/upload/
I like the Uploader tool from this link
http://www.flickr.com/tools/
You just drag an image onto the desktop icon, and it opens the uploader. You sort out sets, descriptions etc. before committing the upload.
But flickr has been ruined for me. I HATE the new UI, and nothing works as well as it used to.
My stream can be found at

But I seldom upload stuff nowadays. -
How does one resize a photo to the dimensions required by a contest?
How does one resize a photo in aperture to the dimensions required by contest?
Are you submitting a print or a file?
You set the size of your print in the print dialog.
You set the number of pixels (the unit of linear measurement of digital images is the pixel) for a file when you create that file by exporting an Image from your Library. You can specify a recommended number of Pixels per Inch by using the (mis-named) DPI field in the Image Export Preset you use when you export.
The files you import have a height and width in pixels. Height/width = the Aspect Ratio. You can crop to any aspect ratio using Aperture's Crop tool.
What are the specs required by the contest's sponsors?
Message was edited by: Kirby Krieger -- added aspect ratio and cropping. -
I am trying to resize a photo for printing to a 8x10 as it still crops off the top and bottom when printing. I took this with my D3100. How can I do this? I have tried printing several times.
Your image does not fit the 8x10 format - so it will always crop - probably not what you wanted to hear. But a couple of solutions for you:
Print the image on a larger paper so that it will fit, you will end up with a border - but will fit or
Resize the image in Photoshop - Image/Size to something like 9" high, that will automatically reduce the width of your image, but you will still end up with a border, but the whole image wil be there
Hope this helps, and maybe next time you can frame the image in camera to ensure your subject fits in a 4x5 ratio (leave a bunch of headroom at top and bottom)

Fitting or resizing a photo in a drop zone
Is there a way to resize a photo in DVDSP. I have a logo that I want on my menu. It was given to me as both a jpg and psd. I tried putting either in the drop zone. Only part of the image appears in the drop zone. When I enlarge the drop zone I can get the entire image to appear, but then it's as wide as the menu screen (I just want it in a corner). I tried importing a smaller version, but that does the same, but pixilated. Is there a way to get the image to fit the size of the drop zone, not the other way around.
select then click & drag corner handle to size picture
select then click & drag in picture to move
shift alt then click & drag in picture to move picture within the drop zone frame -
I am trying to resize a photo so that it will print as an 8x10 without losing any of the image due to cropping. I set the image sizing in export to be a width and height of w=8 and h=10. When i export it, i still get the same crop that it would have if i uploaded an un-resized photo. I am uploading the file to Mpix.com.
Am i doing this wrong or what? I can't get my photo to print in an 8x10. I know about my camera taking a 2x3 ratio photo.
Thanks,
BrianIn the print screen, select print to jpg. Setr the custom file dimensions to 8 X 10. Set sharpening, media type, ppi and colour management according to the paper being printed on (if you don't have a paper profile use sRGB). Set the grid at 1 row and 1 column. Pull your Cel size to maximum. You will now see your print uncropped as it will be on 8 X 10 paper with borders. If you wish to see how it will apear if you filled the paper select zoom to fill. You can also set borders etc. here.
When finished print to file and send the jpg file to the printer. -
Thank you for considering my post. I have suffered for years
in making my sites on Frontpage. When it came to working with their
tables and cells I was convinced either they or I was demonically
possesed. I have decided to do my next website in Dreamweaver. I
have MX.
I noticed on my old site (Frontpage), that when I saved and
posted an image to my site, that photo image degraded from its
original clarity (in photography talk, this degradation is called
'noise.') My photos are shot from an 8.3 Canon 20D and it takes
very impressive, sharp and color rich photos. The photos were
originally resized, cropped and saved in Image Composer (and an old
version at that). So I always blamed the loss of clarity on
Frontpage or Image Composer.
In Dreamweaver, I find that when I construct a page which has
a photo image, and when I push that button that lets me see the
page in my browser, I still see a degradation of the photo. I must
admit, I am still using Image Composer to crop, resize and save the
original (now modified) image.
I ask you the following: What causes my photos to loose their
sharpness and color quality? Have you experienced a loss in quality
in posting your photos, and if so, how did you cure it?
I have Fireworks MX, it's just that I don't know if using it
will fix the problem. What should I do? Is some special technique
used in saving photos for a website? Does clarity change if I work
from bitmap images or .jpegs? If so, what format should I use and
work in?
Thanks for your help!> I have MX.
That's not a great start - is it DMX6.0 or DMX6.1?

Without a basic understanding of how HTML tables work, you
will likey run
afoul of the same demons in DW as you did in FP. Spend some
time running
through the table tutorials at the DW FAQ link in my sig to
prepare your
skills....

If the image is clear when you put it on the web page, and if
you DO NOT
RESIZE IT ON THE PAGE, then it'll be clear on the web, even
if you make the
page in Notepad. The HTML authoring system makes no
difference at all.

Resizing in the browser.

Nope - not if the image is clear when I export it from the
graphics editor.

Photo-quality images should always be exported as JPG, unless
you have a
special reason for using PNGs.

Hello Everybody!
I want to resize a photo (change the number of pixels) while I'm browzing through my pictures in iPhoto.
For that I have two questions:
1. Is there a way to resize a photo in iPhoto?
2. If not, how do I set the "Edit in external editor" program when I right click (ctrl-click) a photo? Usually this option is grayed out and I don't know how to make it accessable.
Cheers & Thanks!This wasn't the question I was looking for, but it's been one I have wished for. When I export the picture and select the new size I then am given a window where I rename the new image and then direct where it should go. The default appears to be where I LAST saved a picture. I would like it to go where the original image is stored (I'm afraid I am still in my PC mode as I've only very recently decided to give Gates the gate!)
I navigate to my iPhoto library and have a choice of Originals, modified, iPod photo cache (woops, not THERE!), and Data. In each of those folders are only dated folders ... hmmm. I see. Wait a sec. Okay, I dig further into 2002 and discover the folder the original is in. I select that. But it doesn't appear in my iPhoto screen. Lemme see... Well, I see. I put it into "DATA/folder/folder." I'll put it into "Original/folder/folder" ... hmm. It says that it's already there and do I want to replace it. Well, if it were there, why don't I see it in my library?
Okay, now just a sec... bear with me. SOrry to go on here but a lot of this is confusing to an old PC head.

I brought over the entire file structure from the PC onto a folder on my Mac desktop... hmmm. So... maybe I should save the new picture in THAT folder? I'm not sure I'm not COPYING the photo to iPhoto or POINTING iPhoto to that folder.
What was the question I was looking for? That's another of my problems...
