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.

Help! Unable to resize partition - Windows XP reverts to old size.

Hi all,
I'm trying to resize my Windoze partition and can't seem to get the new size to stick.
First, I tried CampTune. It proved absolutely useless. I tried simply using it to resize my partitions, I tried using it on an empty Windows partition. Every time I got an error, and the Two Canoes web site doesn't even have a category for CampTune in their help file. Epic fail.
Second, after backing up my original partition using WinClone, I wiped my old partition, used Boot Camp to create a new (larger) partition, restored my Windoze installation into the new partition, and it's still the same size it was before. The Windows partition is the old size, the Mac partition is the new (smaller) size.
Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Help!
Thanks!

Hi Jesse,
first: CampTune is not a TwoCanoes product but a Paragon product.
I never used CampTune for resizing, but with WinClone have a look at their FAQs http://www.twocanoes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=515 under the section *"My current Windows partition is the wrong size, and I want to make it larger. How do I do this?"*
Is your Windows partition using the FAT32 file system or NTFS file system.
With FAT32 you cannot expand the partition size, only with NTFS.

Dual Screen / Render differ for the same image (same time!) - Full size

On my Mac Pro / lightroom 2.3, I have 2 screens connected (same brand: Dell, Same size 24'). One is in landscape position, the other is vertical.
I use the landscape one as Screen 1.
If I display an image (1:1 ratio) on the Screen 2, the rendering is not sharp (seem to not be finished / close to be!), the same image render on screen one is correct! The problem is easy to check: At the same time you have a sharp image (Screen 1) and a blurred one (screen2).
Images came from Canon EOS 50D raw file.
Does this problem know? Any idea to solve it?

I'm having a similar problem on my Mac Pro with an Apple 23" as Monitor 1 and a Samsung 21" in Portrait orientation as Monitor 2. Sometimes, even though full 1:1 previews have been rendered, when I zoom to the 1:1 view on Monitor 2 (usually with the Grid View on Monitor 1), it zooms in but never loads the 1:1 preview, so the image is blurry.
The only solution I've found is to restart Lightroom.

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.

Problems with viewing full-size images on Google...

When I search in images, and click "see full-size image", sometimes the file will be downloaded to my hard drive as a JPG, and then Preview opens up to view it. This never used to happen...the image would always just show up on a new page in the browser.
Does anyone know what's going on?

Resizing of images after FCP update not working. When I try to resize, It resizes a blank transparent image.

I am having trouble resizing images after I installed the FCP update. When I press the transform button, and then click on teh image, I go to the little blue dots on the side of the image that usually resize the image, and when I drag them out, instead of the image resizing, a black trasparent rectangle the same size as the photo expands outward to my desired size. This has happened to me before the update when trying to resize text, but the problem usually fixed itself once I clicked again on the text line in the editing section.
Any ideas?

Hi Russ,
It doesn't work that way either, however it's okay because I solved the problem. Turns out I had to select 'add keyframe' on either the 'crop' or 'distort' tabs and it fixes itself. No idea why but the problem is solved! Thanks for your help anyhow.

Hero Images Revert to Original Size After Being Resized

Hi,
I have read many forum questions about resizing hero images in slideshows, but I'm having a slightly different problem:
In order to have larger images in my slideshow I have been resizing the hero images to 500px height one by one (as I can't seem to find a way to edit all hero images together).
But now I am finding that images I have already made larger have reverted back to their original size. This is without exiting the program or even changing windows.
This is already a time consuming process as I'm working on an artist's site and there are multiple slideshows with dozens of images each.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
Thanks!

Photoshop CS5 crashing my Mac when resizing large images

I don't have much to explain this further but Photoshop CS5 is crashing my Mac when I resize large images. Small images are fine but large 300dpi images crashes it without warning. Don't know what to do. The only other similar thing is After Effects CS5 is crashing my Mac when I trim a clip. It completely turns off my Mac when I trim a clip.
I have 8gigs of Ram and am running 27" iMac Core i5
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Hal

Hi Wendy
Thank you for your insights. We are having the same problems here.
It's been a headache as we bought two 27" iMacs in March 2011; and we've had even BOTH iMacs exchanged.
After exchanging, same thing happened. We then got all 16GB of RAM on each iMac replaced.
But we noticed that the auto-shutdown problem happens with files on 300dpi. We are contemplating on changing them to 299dpi though haha!
Unfortunately, here in Singapore, we don't have a physical Apple store. We only have Premium Resellers.
And the other unfortunate thing is, when RAMs are upgraded these Premium Resellers sell 3rd party RAMs.
I supposed we'll have to deal with this for now until we have enough funds to replace ALL 32 RAMs to original Apple RAMs (which will cost abt another USD1600!!) ..
Hope this forum helps others as much as it finally helped me understand the issue we're having.

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...

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.

How can I use the custom new image size presets also when I resize an image

Hi there,
I have created some new image presets at various sizes, and I have saved these presets.
They appear when I create a new image.
How can I get these preset sizes to also appear when I re-size an image ?
The presets for new images seems to be stored in a different way to the re-size image presets, as the re-size image presets are empty.
Many thanks

JAI runs out of heap when resizing big images, Java2D not

Hello,
I was doing some tests wit PMIW library (which wraps both Java2D and JAI) and it seems Java2D is much faster and doesnt eats as much memory as JAI (I have tested the native version only).
Do you have a clue why?
Thanks

Correction: I have testet non-native version only (the pure-java one).
The test was simple: resize large images (thousands of pixels in width and height).

Why does photoshop unexpectedly resize an image when i drag it to another canvas?

Hello everyone.
I'm just having a simple problem that is not the worst or most crippling, but it is slightly annoying. For example, say I resize an image down to 245 pi X 300 pi. I then drag it from it's original canvas to another one (essentially I'm dragging and dropping). The sizing is not right? It is not the same 245 pi X 300 pi on the other canvas? Is that something I did and is there any way I can fix that because I like using templates that have specified pixel lengths and widths. So I keep having to make approximations which is really annoying.
Anyways, I hope there is some possible way you can help me. Thanks in advance

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.
