Resizing an image for a Wordpress Theme

I am creating a website/blog on Pro PhotoBlog and the Masthead of the theme I am using requires my image to be 990 pixels wide. I have entered the dimensions of what I wanted (990x600 pixels) on the Aperture export screen. When I import the image into Pro Photoblog, its saying its 826x600 which is an incorrect size! What's causing my export to change dimensions? The original size of my images are way big so resizing them down to 990x600 should not be an issue unless I am missing something.
The instructions Pro Photo gives is to use Photoshop to resize the images before uploading them but why do that when I can do it in Aperture.

Expanding a little on Munas' spot-on answers. Note that the wording of the control in the Image Export Preset dialog is "Size to➞Fit within (pixels)". This means that Aperture will not change the aspect ratio of your Image, it will shrink it so that it _fits within_ the dimensions you specify. When you specify 990 x 600, you are telling Aperture to shrink the Image _proportionately_ (that is, with the same aspect ratio) until it fits within a rectangle that size. Your Image is, apparently, not rectangular enough to _exactly_ be 990 x 600 when the width is 990 _or less_ AND the height is 600 _or less_.
As Munas says, you must _start with_ an Image that has an aspect ratio equal to 990/600 in order to end up with an Image that is 990 x 600 when it is resized to fit within 990 x 600. To get an image that has that aspect ratio, you need to crop an area with that aspect ratio. I suggest creating a new Version from an Image you want to use, and then cropping with the crop tool set to "Aspect Ratio➞Custom" and "Width➞990" and "Height➞600".

[REQ] resizing multiple images for same height or width

I often insert a lot of images in my indesign documents on a single page. I need to make them of the same height and then resize the image accordingly. I'm using cs6
For example to align all the images horizontally in a neat way, I change the height manually [for e.g. 60mm] in its dimensions box. Is there a way to do it quickly? Eg. I select all the images and put their height 60mm and their height becomes as specified and they get resized accordingly?
Same is the requirement of images for width.

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.

Resizing an image for smartphone

Hi,
I am trying to resize a logo so that it looks crisp and sharp on Facebook and on mobile devices, but I'm having trouble. My file is a .png file and is 72 dpi (resized for web and devices in photoshop). It is 400x400 pixels.
Can you help? I use sproutsocial.com (similar to tweetdeck or hootsuite) to send posts to Facebook and Twitter. The image looks good on screen when I look at facebook, but not when you look at it on a mobile phone.

I found that sometimes for PNG when the display dimension is smaller than your image, the browser's auto-scale (e.g. if my original file is 1280px, but website display shows it at 500px) down makes the PNG seems a bit blurry (if others feel otherwise feel free to correct me).
Try saving your hires image (if you have any) or low res image to JPEG. I find that file format doesn't tend to blur when the auto-scale.
Hope that would help!

Resize large images for web?

Man I feel so dumb having to post questions here, i really look to solve these myself and usually can in just about any software program i've used for 20 years, thats my only frustration with LR. The help system just hasn't been developed fully. Oh and thanks to all of you that help here and especially Ian Lyons for the Shortcuts pdf...what a life saver that is!
OKAY SO ON TO MY POST THIS WEEK> i was getting nice large size Web gallery images and now all of a sudden they are way too large for the client...where the heck do you adjust the size? "Image pages size" doesn't do it, seems like there should be something with "Large Images," but its only got quality, metadata and copyright.
Thanks in advance for whom ever lends a hand!

I'm pretty sure you had it right with the "Image pages" and the size slider. I am currently cranking out hundreds of images from a wedding shoot this weekend, and my "large" images are being produced at the 900 pixel max size I have in this dialog.
Set it to whatever you need, then click an image in your preview to see the size applied.
If all else fails - restart the app (but I'm sure you already tried that.)
peace,
Tormod

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.

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

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.

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...

When I resize my image it reverts to full size when I layer it?

I'm working with a newly installed photoshop elements 12 on a Mac. When I resize an image (for example 1" x 2") and layer it onto a blank sheet (8.5 x 11in) in reverts back to full size and covers the entire base layer. I've tried changing the "view" to print size but it doesn't stick when I layer it. Is there something I'm missing in the settings? Do I need to reinstall Photoshop?

Have a look at the following discussion:
http://www.elementsvillage.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82355&highlight=resize
I think what you are seeing is the result of dragging a file from the photobin to the workspace. You'll find other ways to add your layers to your project.
Note that that behaviour has been changed in PSE13.

We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?
