Resizing within layer? Playing with image size?

Help! I have been searching FAQs and tutorials for hours. I used to be able to click and drag an image to change it's size while in the layer without having to specify a numeric value, just simply clicking and dragging then when happy with the size double clicking. I just upgraded to CS4 and can't find that option.
Also how can I rotate just one of many layers in an image, using the rotate tool, it rotates all layers at once!

I cannot identify with your past experience in Photoshop, perhaps you were referring to some other application In Photoshop consider the following approach to both resize and rotate. Press Ctrl + T and a bounding box appears around the elements in the active layer. pull on a corner to resize, or
pull on a corner with the shift key held down to resize proportionally. If you hover just beyond the corner point you will see small curved arrows indicating the ability to rotate. Click and drag to rotate (just that layer) when the curved arrows appear. Finish off any of the above transformations by hitting enter. Hope this helps.

Trouble with image size

Hello everyone, I'm having some trouble with image sizes.
I created a 977x5000 px image at 72 PX/inch resolution with text for use on a weebly website.
When created the image looks like a small vertical bar(maybe around 50x500px) with a massive left and right photoshop background(not the image background). so if I drag the bottom slider to the left or right the image will completely disappear. I can CTR and + to get it to the correct size so I can actually read the text. I can still go very far left and right with bottom slider. The problem comes in when I save it to a PNG or other file it still shows up as a bar.
Is there any way to fix this so it saves it as the correct viewing size? that way when I open the image it's an actual 977x5000 instead of looking like a 50x500
I'm on Windows 7, my display settings are at 100% and I'm using Photoshop CC 2014

You do not understand what is going on at all. First an image file's PX/inch resolution setting is meaningless when it come to the Web and displays all that is meaningful is pixels. For displays are run at one resolution usually their native manufactured Pixel resolution so your image will be displayed at 96DPI on Desktop Displays and a 300+DPI on Phones and around 250DPI on tablets. Your image height is also to large to fit on any display. The Display I think that displays the most pixels is the IBM T221 22.2" LCD 16:10 aspect ratio 3840px by 2400px. at 204DPI. Rotating that display to portrait it can display an image with a height of 3840px your image height is larger 5000. Your image has an aspect ratio in the neighborhood of 1:5 an image 50x500 has an aspect ratio of 1:10 a far cry from 1:5 your image is much wider then 1:10.

Working with image sizes/copy and paste

I have two different jpeg files open in photoshop cs4, one is 72 ppi, 8 inches wide by 6 inches tall at 16.67% zoom. The other is about 60 inches wide by 45 inches tall, 72 ppi, at 100% zoom. I was wanting to take an element (a person) out of the 8x6 image and paste it into the 60x45 but when I do it's super small, smaller than I want it. I tried playing with the zoom and resolution but can't get two differing image sizes to match up in size. Can such a thing be done and if so, how do I do it? Thanks in advance

BTW, what is the ideal image file format for print production? I mainly use extra large JPEGs and punch in 300 for the overall resolution and so on.
300 ppi at actual size is "default" standard for book and magazine print, unless you're specifically told otherwise.
IOW, it boils down to pixel count again. Remember, resolution = pixels per inch. Think of ot as a simple equation, and like any such equation, you can calculate one if you have the two others (or let the Image Size dialog do it for you).
Resolution without a physical print size is meaningless, an "empty" figure.
As for file format, you can't go wrong with TIFF, lossless and cross-platform, and with support for anything you might conceivably want to put into the file. But jpeg is usually accepted in a pinch (e.g. if you have to mail them).

Problems with image sizes

There seems to be lots of confusion about image sizes and Apple iBookstore Support et al simply state that images should not be greater than 2 megapixels.
IBook Author Help > Photos and other images, states:-
Important: When you export your book for distribution outside the iBookstore, images are automatically scaled to a width of 2048 pixels, which is optimized for iPad with Retina display. Readers can view these images on other iPad models, but the viewing experience might be slower. You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by using images no wider than 1024 pixels.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5117 states:-
Publishing to the iBookstore:
If most of your readers will be using the original iPad, scale down images in Interactive Image widgets to a width of 2048 pixels and all other images to a width of 1024 pixels.
Previewing on iPad, or exporting for distribution outside the iBookstore:
You can improve the viewing experience on iPad models without Retina display by scaling down images in Interactive Image widgets to a width of 2048 pixels and all other images to a width of 1024 pixels.iBA help deals with exporting books OUTSIDE the store and simply advises that you can help none Retina viewers by having a smaller image. No help at all really - but suggests that the use of images 2048 is OK. that would indicate 2048 x 1536 or 1496. No mention of what resolution should be used.
iBookstore support basically reapeat this.
So to ease life in getting books accepted, should we all use 1024 x 768 @72ppi for iPad & iPad 2 and now iPad mini. ????
and use 2048 x 1536 @ ?? for The New iPad Retina display!
Both fail to mention HOW the books author would know which iPad a buyer/viewer will be using. Also if "we" only use 1024 x 768, those with Retina do not get an "enhanced viewing experience".
For a company that deals entirely with devices that use logical programming - there seems very little logic applied when it comes to dealing with a section of their business which by issueing iBA Free and wacking 30% of the top, must be adding to the $billions already stacked away in a corner somewhere.
iBA makes eBooks for use/display on iPads only. For months now since iBA became available, one of the most common requests on this forum is help with....image sizes.
It seems reasonable now when Retina is in use and eventually the iPad and iPad 2 will fade away - ditto the new none retina mini and ALL Apple devices and computers will be retina. So why not plan now! Surely images in shoudl be geared to deal with Retina displays. IF Apple would take that line maybe "Support" would have less work dealing with requests for help about images IF Apple accept that the next Stephen King may not have a clue how to deal with adjusting images sizes and simply state the required dimentions.
I make photo books and use 2048 x 1496 @150ppi - so far ten free books have gone into the store.
The suggestion about images for retina display as "standard" as been sent as feedback.

For all those who are still confused by Apples image restrictions / requirements...
In the new Template chooser after the recent updates is "Antique". This template has a Chapter background image ( the olde world print of sailing ships in blue litho print style ). This print when opened in PS is 2771 x 1506 @72ppi. 2771x1506=4,173,126 pixels.This implies Apple supply a book which does not comply with its own requirements!
Higher image resolution applied to printed photo inmages, make the image sharper. If for example you wanted to print a wall poster 45inches wide, the image needs needs a higher resolution to cater for the size, BUT the same image used for a 45" poster will print 4.5" wide print on your own printer!
iBA full page is deemed to be 1024 x 748. resolution from Apple is 72ppi. An image with those specifications will be OK in iPad & iPad 2 - but not so sharp on a Retina display especially if zoomed larger on screen
Now it seems 2048 x 1496 - double the original image size is suggested for Retina.
You can change an image in PS i.e. 1024 x 748 and change resolution to 144. PS will double the pixel size as you change the resolution. OK, just change pixel sizes back to 1024 x 748 and reolution is now 144.
That indicates a sharper image which will be suitable for retina display and in fact all current iPad models.
Today my 11th photo book was notified as available in the iBook Store, all my images were pre-formatted at 2048 x 1496 @ 150ppi. ( 2048 x 1496 = 3.063,808 pixels!)
During delivery there were no issues flagged and after delivery no tickets.
So I suggest all those folk pondering images sizes follow my example, which is now proved to be accepatble!
One thing puzzles me though, I dont use all images as full page and they can be masked down to - say - 250 x 200. Should just make an image to fit the size I want to display ??

Having trouble with image size on new HP2311x display with 4 year old MacBook. Image too small. Do I have to stay in mirror mode? I have messed with OSD and Image Control menus on display and have gotten nowhere. Help?

Have just installed new HP 2311x display withe 4 year old MacBook. VGA cable. In mirror mode, at high resolution of 1920x1080, image size on HP display is too small. How can I get it to fill screen? If not in mirror mode, the display looks good, only I can't get the top menu bar (tried to drag it) nor the rest of the desktop. Help?

Issue with image size on overwrite edits.

This is likely a simple question but for some reason, likely sleep deprivation, I can't figure it out. I have a video sequence of a lecture that I am trying to overlay with a Keynote presentation (Quicktime H.264). I have the lecture video (DV capture) on track one and am doing simple overwrite edits on track two with transitions in and out. This worked perfectly while working on my laptop all night last night. Now I have began the same process with a second lecture (exact same file formats/image sizes as the previous) on my desktop system but when I perform the overwrite edits the video image does not fill the screen and the lecture footage on track one is visible behind the video on track two. I would like to have the video fill the screen. I even tested the same footage I used on the laptop on the desktop and have the same problem.
I am sure there is a setting somewhere that is different but I can't figure it out. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Scroll over in the browser and look at three things: image pixel dimensions of the keynote stuff, the video stuff and the sequence.
If they're not all the same, there's your problem.

Importing Multi-Page PDF. Problems with Image Size Changing.

I am working with CS4 on Windows XP.
This has happened to numerous files...
I open a multi-page PDF using PhotoShop using Grayscale. There are crop marks indicated on each page, so I will use the crop tool to crop each image accordingly. Then I convert each to a bitmap and save it as a .tiff file and close it. When I re-open the file, the image size has increased. It seems like it increases the same amount each time (maybe about 25%??) for each file.
Any suggestions on how to fix this are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm still unclear why you are bothering to open these PDF in Photoshop only to crop.
Acrobat can do this most easily. Placing the PDF files back in InDesign can also do this.
Photoshop is the last tool you'd want to use as it is rasterizing the vector elements/text and producing a larger file.
If you have neither Acrobat or InDesign, look to a free tool to crop PDF.

Problem with image size, please help!

I have spent the last week editing several photos I took for my cousin of his newborn baby (removing backgrounds/people, editing colours etc etc).
I went to get them printed but the image size is only around 800 x 400 pixles. I checked my original images from my camera and their 4000 x 3000, why are my photos once imported into photoshop suddenly being drastically reduced in size?
Really need some help here as I'm afraid I might have lost a whole weeks work as the images are now too small to get decent prints from.
Thanks,
Sacred

The pixel measurements are 3000 x 4000 when taken straight off my camera but for some reason after editing the photo its gone down to 800 x 800, this wouldnt be too much of a problem but its at a density of 300dpi where as the original pictures are at 72dpi.
I've tried my hardest to replicate the problem all afternoon going through the various stages of importing, editing and saving that I normally do and I can't get it to do it again? Really confused as to whats happened, its not the first time though I had the same problem back in 2007 after shooting someones wedding, edited a few of the photos (no cropping) then found the sizes had dropped drastically.
As far as I know I don't have any scripts, actions or image processes set up to do anything on any of my images.
When I open the file I've retouched its gone from a printable measurement of 60 x 40 inches to a printable measurement of 3 x 3 inches, this image has been extensivly cropped (just over half to 3/4) but no where near as small as 3 x 3 printable inches (I'm talking in printable size and not pixles because it can be missleading as saying the size in pixles doest equate to a physical size).
From what I can tell the image has changed size after editing and saving, I only noticed a few days later when I attempted to have the image printed that it had reduced in size so much. Which leads me to believe that the image problem must stem from the way its being saved each time??
Thanks a lot for your help and time guys

Trouble with image sizes....

I have a freelance job where I am creating a few simple animations for a digital menu board for a Dairy Queen. I am having trouble with the size of my stage translating to the proper size on the LCD monitor. Is there a trick for making the conversion? The stage is huge and in writing is way bigger but still comes up smaller when viewed on the monitor. The monitor we are using is 768 x 1366 (or 15.5” x 27.5”) and my stage is 5100px x 7688px ( or 70"x106"). So you would think the flash file would be huge but it is too small by about 4in?!?!
--Matt--

those aspect ratios are different. to fill the screen, you will need to make a descision to leave space at the top/bottom, crop your stage width or distort your stage.
you can publish for 100%x100% and use the scaleMode property of the stage to select your option.

Help with image size query

Hi all,
Been using Photoshop for ages, and I'm somewhat embarrassed to ask this question...but here goes: I have 4 images that I want to arrange in a tetraptych. There's more than one way to do this, but here's my problem: Each photo is 2400 wide x 2400 pixels high. I want to have a 10 pixel white border around the 4 images, and 10 pixels in between each image. I then create a new document 9650 pixels wide by 2450 pixels high and move each photo into the new document so that they align with each other. I then use the arrow keys to nudge the photos 10 pixels (assuming each arrow tap is 1 pixel). For some reason there is still not enough space to have the images align with the correct border. I hope this makes sense, but I'm obviously missing something?
Cheers,
Paul

Many thanks for the quick reply...much appreciated. I've managed to get what I want via a quick tutorial I found online. Just increased the canvas size on one of the images and pasted the others in. Yes, I made an error with the height (2420 is correct), Cheers!

Fluid Grid Layout - IE Issue with Image Size

Hi,
I've been working on a new website using the CS6 Fluid Grid Layout. My site is working correctly in Chrome and Firefox but in Internet Explorer 9 and 10, and most likely all other versions, the images that resize normall in Chrome and Firefox stay at maximum size in Internet Explorer. Please could somebody take a look at my site and see where I have gone wrong in the code as I can't find the problem anywhere.

Problems with image size after PAL conversion

I edited my movie (captured in 16:9 mini DV) on Final Cut with all the right settings. I ran the video through DVFilm Maker which gives it a 24P/film-like look. In Final Cut Pro, this footage always looks "squished" but after exporting with Compressor (widescreen preset) and droping into DVD Studio Pro, it is in perfect 16:9 and looks fine.
Now I am trying to convert all this to PAL. I use the same company's DVFilm Atlantis to convert to PAL, and it is even more "squished" than the original, but after exporting with Compressor with PAL settings, it still looks squeezed on DVD Studio Pro.
I should say that I export the NTSC as a Quicktime movie (no conversion) with "current settings" and convert that to PAL.
[One of the options in Atlantis when converting is to "squeeze 16:9 into letterbox" I have done that, but the final product is small with a large black letterbox on all sides.]

Nattress' Standards Converter does a bang up job of converting NTSC to PAL. (and his film effects are very good as well) It all can be found at www.nattress.com
Compressor 2 can do this as well but takes longer and the results are less certain.

Photo image size for letterpress card

I'm trying to create a simple card in iPhoto 11 and am having some difficulties.
The various card themes have several layout options. Each option requires a certain size image (or sizes - some layouts are for more than one image).
How am I supposed to know what size of image will fit in each "layout box"?
Am I supposed to just play with the size of the image by resizing a JPG until it fits? Too time consuming - I've tried and I just can't get it to fit. Obviously I missing something simple if this is to be an "easy way to quickly make a card". I cannot find the required image size for the various layouts anywhere, so I'm clearly missing something.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1035 tells me recommended resolutions, but they are too big to fit into a card.
NOTE: I'm not talking about cropping an image or resizing it, which I can do.
I just need to know the size these card layouts require! Where is this information located, or what am I doing wrong?
Am I confusing DPI and pixels and resolution and ....?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Best,
Kurt

I'm not clear on whatyou are not clear on
You simply drag photos to the enpty photo frames in the template - there are move and pan controls if you want to change the position of the photo - you can reight click on a photo and select "fit to frame" in most themse if the photo ratios do not match teh frame ratios and yo are losing parts of the photo
the only "resolution" concern you have is that the photos are at least 180 DPI and if they are not you will get a warning
"Note: A yellow warning triangle with an exclamation point in the center may appear if the resolution is too low (below 180 DPI)."
The article you referenced gives Minimum pixel sizes for various uses - if your photo are that size or larger you are fine
The pixel size is shown in teh info window for a photo

Image size jumps from 10.3mp to 58.9mp?

I shoot DNG in camera at 10.3mp. When opened in CC and I go to image size it is suddenly 58.9mp but only 11.9in by 9.6in in size. Why? I am looking to get a 16x20 print out of it with oul loss of image quality.

Depends on what figures you are using. Some doc sizes include ram resources needed to handle the image, but have nothing to do with image size.
Also, depends on layers, history states, etc.

Resizing within layer? Playing with image size?
