Photoshop Elements :: Re-sizing And Pasting In 12?
Dec 30, 2013
I've just got Elements 12 and I'm having difficulty getting started.
Â
The first thing I need to do, is to re-size a load of images - I need them to be a specific size in centimetres. I don't care how many pixels they are, or how big the file is.
Â
However, whenever i try re-sizing, and then open the image in something else, it hasn't really changed size - it's just set to print at that size in elements. As I'm not printing them, I'm sending them digitally elsewhere to be printed, that's no good to me- is there any way to actually change the size.
Â
Once I've got the images resized, I then want to paste them onto a slightly larger black background. However, I don't seem to be able to paste between files. Is this normal?
Â
To sum up:
Â
I have a load of jpegs and pngs of various sizes, I want to get them all to 6.12 x 8.6 cm, then paste them into a black background 6.4 x 9 cm (providing a thin border against the edges being cropped int he printing process) and save as jpegs. These jpegs will then be uploaded to a printing company via the internet.

I shoot on a canon 5dIII ( Raw + JPeg 5760x3840), and own Photoshop Elements 10. I shot some family group photos. I framed leaving little headroom, but love the composition. I never expected for the image to be cropped for any reason. My mother in law wants to get the images printed at a box store as 5x7's and 8x10's. For each of those sizes, the photo lab keeps cropping heads off of the images. So, I realize that I need to send her properly sized files. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resize the images, without having to crop them. Is this impossible. When I choose Image, Resize, and unclick Resample, I cannot enter 5x7 or 8x10. I also cannot enter those sizes with Resample clicked on. I've read and watched tutorials, but am still confused. Is this not possible to do without having to crop some portion of the image? Here's a really embarassing question as well: When I see 5x7 I'm interpreting that as 5 High x 7 Wide is that correct?

I would like to crop heads of people in certain photos, and paste or align them with bodies in different images.
Â
I've tried isolating the head or face using the Quick Selection Tool, and then Image/Crop, but I cannot get a clean edge; it's surrounded by an angular border, no matter what I do.
Is this impossible to do with curvy shaped image elements?

I'm working with PSE 9.

In short all I want to do is take people out of images that I have and paste them all together in new images and add a background colour. Is there a function to cut them out, do I have to sellect them piece by piece.

Why can't I fix the size of my image in Photoshop? I try to make it, for example, 3.5" x 2.5", and have tried both the image size AND canvas size options. When I go and check the image size, it is 3.52" x 2.51", for instance. I've never encountered this before (using Photoshop 12 years now), and don't know how to fix this.

I am a digital scrapbook designer and I, and several fellow designers, have just started experiencing some odd behavior in CS. It is occuring on both Mac and PC platforms and in versions of CS3 through 5.
Â
We create 12 x 12 in (3600 x 3600 px) 300 dpi documents used by our customers as "backgrounds" for digital scrapbooking kits. We save the documents as jpg's Basline Standard, anywhere from 8-12. Sometimes, if we open a saved jpg and place (drag) it onto a new 12 x 12 document, we notice that the saved file is just a bit and sometimes as much as an 8th of an inch smaller than the new document, even though they are both 12 x 12, 300 dpi. Additionally sometimes when we drag the saved files from Finder or Windows Explorer to a new document while holding the shfit key to center placement, we're still off by that same 8th of an inch. Sometimes, if we align the horizontonal and vertical, the same jpg will be perfectly aligned and no longer too small for the 12 x 12 document and sometimes you can very clearly see the edges of the layer beneath.
Â
This issue is driving us nuts because it just started happening recently and our customers, who very often have their finished scrapbook pages printed, have also started noticing. I don't have a clue where start trouble-shooting this.Â

I have created a polka dot pattern (.125 inch) on Photoshop CS6. When I print it out at home it comes out perfectly. However, I need larger print outs so, I corresponded with FedEx print to make them for me. The issue is that the dots come out a bit smaller than .125 inch.

here's this picture. I need it to print at a 4x6. When I upload to order it with my lab online the cropping for the 4x6 crops out fingers etc. I've resized image tried several things.
How can I make this without losing my border, etc.?

Why is the default size of the print so large? Should I change it to just print 4x6's or leave it? Why does Save As change the size of the file and can this be changed? My photofinisher uses a Fuji Frontier printer. I am ordering PS Elements 2.0 for Dummies of which I clearly am right now!!

How do I size a picture in Adobe? Either before I make changes to the picture or after, I go to 'Image' then 'image size' and I try to change the dimensions of the photograph, but it automatically it refers to its own preferred size. How do I unlock it so as to adjust it to my likings?

I have been unable to print several resized images onto one single picture.
I have been resizing an image by selecting an area, copying, creating a new blank image via NEW>CLIPBOARD and then pasting the image onto the blank canvas. Then going to IMAGE>IMAGE SIZE and changing to the required size.
This works fine for printing one image but if I copy and paste a couple of images onto a new canvas the images are not the original size.

If I use 'save for web' and resize the image to a specific pixel width and height, how do I know if it is resized at 72 pixels per inch, 96 pixels etc? Are there specs for low, high, maximum quality in the Save for Web tool?

I have Microsoft picture and fax viewer that I use to show off my pictures in a slide show. I can get an awesome zoom to see minute details. How can I do this in Photoshop? Many times, the image becomes blury or pixelated. Some pics, I only want a small detail, so I try zooming in and using the marque tool to capture it and place in a new image, but it there a better way to do this to keep the clarity of the picture?

I have created an action to re-size images as I have 700 to do. BUT when I try to batch process I keep getting the Jpeg option box open to set image quality. This only happens when trying to batch process original straight out of the camera images. If I try to batch already saved images it works ok. Does anyone have any idea how to get around this?
I'm using CS and Win XP home.

I have created a Photoshop image to print on a 8.5 x 11 inch canvas size (letter paper) and have scaled the document inside the canvas with 1/4 inches on all sides of the image. However shows that the image is over and above the allowable printable area for a letter size page.
I have to resize the image for printing to get the entire image in the letter size page. Problem is, the image gets off center once resized for printing.
Is there any set margins in photoshop or by the printer to require a border ? margins ? i am stumped as the image is within the 8.5x11" canvas size, but shows the image as larger (oustside the printable area) on the print preview....thinking there is some unwritten safety margins on the letter document i have missed.

Save for Web has an option for Image Size, it's a tab on the right side of the Save for Web window (Photoshop CS).
Well, I tried to resize the size in this window, saved the file, closed every open file and reopened that resized file that I had save with that resize option. Turns out that nothing was resized
I tried it several time, still the same size, even double checked in image/image size.
So what's going on here? I just discovered this option today and thought it would be useful to post images/screenshots to the internet... that is... if it works.

CS4 Is not allowing me to size the images as I would like.
I have PSD files that I need to size at- in this instance- to 11" Wide X 8.5" tall. CS4 will not let me do this.
When I try to size the image to fit the size I need one dimension gets thrown off. As I do not want to distort the image, I try to crop. (Cutting part of the image that has to be sacrifised to fit the size needed.) That will not work either. CS4 will not allow that change.
Once again what should be a simple task has become a miserable CS4 experience. Hours of reading instructions and watching videos is of no help.
Sizing an image to a given set of measurments should not be so difficult (and so far impossible).

I am using Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x64 and I can't seem to get the settings for a new document to stick.
Â
When I make a new document my color profile never matches my color settings (RGB: Adobe RGB (1998); CMYK: U.S. Sheetfed Coated v2; Convert to Working RGB; Convert to Working CMYK; Ask when opening), it always is reset to sRGB. Also, when I create a new document it doesn't seem to remember either what I used last or what is in my clipboard - it always resets to 1 x 67.
Â
Is there some hidden setting I'm missing?

I need to make some new images for a jcarousel we've just coded into one of our sites. I have a number of existing images and logos that I need to drop into a 150 x 94 px size - I have a lot of these to convert.
Â
What is the best (easiest) way to do this - they are all different sizes and formats. We'd like to end up with either gifs or pngs - if we make sprites we would need to keep the canvas size the same but knock the image size down to 150 x 47.

I have a MAC OS X which has 3 users. I have been playing with textures and on one user I am able to move the texture on top a photo and size it to fit.   On the other user I am not able to size as the sizing info does not appear. I have tried different shots but nothing changes.

I have a .pdf with 4 signatures (John Hancock) that are HUGE!
- I can highlight each signature individually and save each one as a separate .bmp
- Opening the signature in photoshop (CS3) the picture looks great when it's big! I can print from photoshop and it looks marvelous on paper.
- When I size it down to the size that I need (W:120 H:45 pxls) it looks like crap when it's printed (which is what the signatures are for). They are very pixelated.
Is there anything I can do, to take a gorgeous large .bmp and turn it into a gorgeous small .bmp?

I've been using photoshop at work to create covers for CDs, but we have two types of CD case, the normal kind, and on that's kind of a smaller version of a DVD case.
When I created the cover for the normal CD cases I measured up the correct sizes and inputted them when I create the new file. The cover looked much bigger than actual size when it appeared on screen, making working on it much easier, but then when it printed, it printed at the correct size.
When I came to make the cover for the second kind of case I did everything exactly the same as far as I can tell, but the cover doesn't look bigger on screen this time, it appears on screen at actual size, making working on it much harder. Then when it prints off, it still prints at the correct size but looks terribly blurred.
I have no idea what has caused the two different projects to behave so differently. Any one have any ideas? Have I accidentally changed some setting somewhere?

I have some really good resoloution images for a large 8x4ft poster project. but one of my clients larger images (an important one) is just a 1000 x 1000px image @ 72dpi that has some artifacts which needs to occupy a approximate 25 inch square on the final print. I can't get a better quality image than this from the client at this time as they don't have it. what techniques can I use in photoshop to increase the print size while improving the final printed image. In the past, I sized up the image to the size needed and set the dpi from 72 to 300dpi (using "bicubic smoother"), add some surface blur, add monochromatic, uniform noise @ 2% +/- (to help smooth out the artifacts). with this image now, there are a lot of flat shiny surfaces where the artifacts are more noticable, etc. what kind of techniques would you use for this kind of job? (apart form hitting the client xD)

ive search and i m all most sure that there is a thread somewhere here to answer this question but i cant find it - if you know please point me in the direction. Otherwise here it is.: Yesterday i went to my lokal photo/printing store asking them to print some 15x20 cm!! pictures with a white frame - probably !/2 cm in each side.
Im shooting with a d20 canon(just purchased it) wich has a crop factor. Thats why he told me to go home and resize my pictures(make 2:3 ratio) to actually fit a 15x20 cm. But as i see it 15x20 isent a 2:3 ratio - but 15x22,5 is!! Thats why im confused about in wich size i should deliver my pictures for printing. And further more if it is me who should make room for the white frame.

I am changing the size of a bunch of photos from 72 ppi to 300 ppi (for printing in a book). When I change the resolution to 300 ppi, the width and height and file size shoot up of course. I want to keep the high quality - but should I untick the resampling box, or do it with the resampling box ticked - then reduce the size?
