Changing an Image’s Resolution and Size

Fendy Ch — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:50:16 +0000

I show you how to use simple math to understandwhat Photoshop is doing when you resize yourphoto files. Begin by getting a better handle onhow resolution works. Follow these steps:

Choose File > New to create a new file.The New dialog box appears.
Set the following attributes, as shown below, and then click OK toopen the new file:
1. Width = 8 inches
2. Height = 10 inches
3. Resolution = 150
4. Color Mode = RGB Color, 8-bit
Choose Image > Image Size (Alt+Command+I/Alt+Ctrl+I). The Image Size dialog boxappears. Notice that the startingdimensions are the same as what youspecified with the New File command.
Deselect the Resample Image option.Notice that the Pixel Dimensions area atthe top of the Image Size window goesgray when Resample Image is turned off.That means that the number of pixelsbeing used in your image is fixed at1200 × 1500 pixels.
Deselect the Resample Image option.Notice that the Pixel Dimensions area atthe top of the Image Size window goesgray when Resample Image is turned off.That means that the number of pixelsbeing used in your image is fi xed at1200 × 1500 pixels.
Change the resolution setting to 300.Leave the measurement at pixels/inch.Notice that the size of the image goesfrom 8″ × 10″ to 4″ × 5″, as shown below. That’s because you’re onlychanging the distance between pixels asyou modify the resolution of the file. Youhave fixed overall pixel dimensions of1200 × 1500. When you set yourresolution to 300 ppi, the math dictates that the image is 4″ × 5″ (4″ × 300 ppi =1200 pixels, and 5″ × 300 ppi = 1500pixels). When the resolution is set to 150ppi, the image must be 8″ × 10″ in size(8″ × 150 ppi = 1200 pixels, and 10″ ×150 ppi = 1500 pixels).

Photoshop Tutorial “Portrait Retouching for Beginners”.

This tutorial shows a couple of simple techniques you can use to enhance your portraits. I will focus on retouching the skin, the eyes, and the teeth (whitening). To follow this tutorial, you must already know some Photoshop basics: working with layers, making simple selections, and using basic tools. If you wish to work on the same image, you can download it here.

Step 1: general adjustments

As with any photograph, before you get into detailed retouching you should fix the general flaws: in lighting. For more tips on how to adjust general digital photography problem, visit this tutorial http://www.ardis-creative.com/ardisblog/?p=73″

In this case, our image has an obvious overexposure problem on the girls blouse, but this is beyond the scope of this tutorial, where we will focus only on the face

Lets open the shadows a little: go to Image > Adjustments > Shadows/Highlights and fill in the settings from the image below.
