Photoshop :: How To Resize An Image But Still Keep Alot Of Detail
May 15, 2006
Im creating some textures for a Maya project I'm doing. The images I have right now are .psd's at 1024,1024. Im finding out now that the res might not be high enough to produce good results in maya.
So I want to double the texture file to 2048,2048. But I dont want to lose any of the current detial or have it start to wash out and/or become pixelated. Is there a,filter, tool, plugin, or anything that could atleast aid me in keeping some of the detail? Thanks for all the replies.
In previous versions I have been able to resize the canvas and then resize the image. For example resize the canvas to 250px x 250 px. Then resize the image to the same.
Here is the process I am using:
Duplicate the layer and then hide it. Resize the canvas (Image > Canvas Size) to 250px x 250 px. Un-hide the layer and then resize the image (Image > Image Size). When I go into Image>Image Size it says that the image is already 250px x 250px. However if I try to transform the scale the image is the original size and not 250px x 250px
The reason for needing this is I resize image size (in bulk) and the canvas size using the batch process (file>automate>batch) and actions. I loaded the actions file I used in previous versions, but that did not work correctly. I then went in to do this manually and got the same results.
I am trying to take a handprint such as the one below and change the color of the handprint to say a light pink (or any color) but I want to keep most of the detail of the fine lines that make this handprint unique. The lines could even just come out as white as below. The main thing is to change the overall color while maintaining the fine details. I have been trying to accomplish this for over a week now in Photoshop Elements 11 and I have been unsuccessful as anything I do just totally color fills the image, which does not keep any details of the handprint.
Usually we talk about the details of the image is mostly lightness or grayscale detail, but there's another image detail type-saturation detail which we can take for use in the image manipulation,the usage of saturation detail depends on our careful observation and blend mode knowledge which give us more control of the image correction.
When I wish to select a detail within an image and right click to make the selection Photoshop CC automatically selects the inverse of the image, including the entire canvas. The edges of the canvas are not always visible when working in close-up. This has resulted in some close calls when appling color or airbrushing.
I am having trouble with Image/Resize/Image Size in PSE7. In the past I had a document size of 4x6. When I wanted to reduce the # of pixels, I just entered new #s and the document size remained the same. A couple days ago I changed both the document size and canvas size. I cannot get my old settings back. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the program, I also have PSE11 on a trial basis and it also only sees the changed settings. I've tried changing Scale Styles, Constrain Proportions & Resample Image, in addition to changing the Canvas Size but cannot get it to work like it did before I changed the settings.
I have completed a project and I need to verify that, based on what I implemented, image should be resized but quality of image (both JPEG and GIF) should not be reduced.
My question is it possible to verify the result using photoshop or some other tools? How?
My college said it is hard to check if an image looks different because of image resizing or because of quality loss or because of both. He said I have to create some log files to trace the result. It is a little too much work for me.
I am having trouble shrinking this compass I made.
I have the box ticked in the preferences that says to scale strokes and effects.
I made the original image 420X420 the one below is 380X380
The second image is 190X190. As you can see the increments become pushed together. I actually want this image to look exactly like the first picture at an icon size of roughly 64X64.
Is there a way I can keep the look of this compass but make it icon size?
In lr4.1 before Importing images, I'd like to see more info (camera, lens, focal length, f-stop, exposure time etc.) about the images besides just the file name before making the selection to import.
In the library module I just push the i key and it loops through two sets of info and a non-display. Why can't I do this in the Import module? If yes: how? What options do I set and where? If no: Is there a plugin to do so or who do I ask to add this to the next release?
I have signed up for Adobe CC and now have Photoshop CS 6 for the Mac installed and running.When I come to use the image resize feature, I am still getting the same box as I had in CS5 instead of the new much improved feature.
Im doing a picture project, where I need to have many layers..
But just how exactly do I resize an image in a layer? If I go Image > Resize Image...the whole image collection of all layers gets bigger...and I only want that specific layer image to get bigger...
I have a jpg that is 300*300 and a res of 72 pixles per inch I need to resize for printing by about 300% (I think min print res is 300dpi) without it getting to pixalated.
I can no longer simply type in a new image size using the same method I have used for years--did Adobe change this with a update download? The only way I can now change the image size is by using the up/down arrows.Running WindowsXP--I have both CS2 & CS3 installed.
This is probably the most newbie thing ever, but how do I resize an image in a layer by dragging it with the mouse? Can you do this? I wanna fit some things together visually and I don't wanna screw around with numbers.
I have an image of approx. 1000x1000px... I need to make the image 500x200. Everytime I try to resize the image it comes out looking "stretched". Is there any way of resizing or shrinking the image in photoshop without distorting the image?
I've found that photoshop is distorting the image when resizing. If you have an image and you duplicate the layer, then with the bottom layer set its size (by free transform) to 99% (width and height), then set the top layers opacity to 50%, the image should be evenly blurred but it's not. It is in focus in the middle and blurred around the edges.
Im creating an app and have to resize a single image to fit for android, iphone,ipad,ipad 2...all different dimensions. I resize my images but they are distorted or look fuzzy?
I am having issues moving and resizing a image once it has been "placed" onto the document. It seems to be locked and even when I agree to place the image, I can still not move or resize it. This happens on all file types and CS6.
I have my own large format printer which accepts 54" wide rolls of media. I plan on printing a number of photos on canvas, and am wondering about a few things:
- If I wish to make a 40" x 30" print, what is the correct way to re-size the image in PhotoShop (CS6)? Out of my camera, the images are 4592 x 3448 px, so do I simply punch in 40" x 30" in the "Image Size" menu, and then select "Bicubic Smoother (for enlargement)"? (see attached image). Or should I just re-size the image in the RIP software?
- Some of the images were shot in Raw, but some as JPG. For the ones that were shot Raw, should I also save them as JPGs before printing, or is TIF better?
I'm making some images for my blog about 900 px for my blog. Still for facebook I think 300 on long size would be about right. Is there a quick way to just keystroke the image or something to get that quickly done? Someone showed me a trick using automator on the Mac but I forgot it.
If you zoom the image using shortcuts (ctrl/cmd+ and ctrl/cmd-, the rulers resize with the image. But if you use scrubby zooming they stay with the window and it's only by hitting ctrl/cmd-R twice that they reset correctly.
hi all i have a epson 7800 printer that i print onto canvas 99 % are ok as i do landscapes,sunsets ect i have started doing photos onto canvas people email me the image at 300 dpi then i edit image in photoshop cs3 the problem i have sometimes it looks distorted not all the time sometime they send me a image that is 2x4 inches dpi is 300 when i blow it up to 20x16 inches or bigger it does not look right i know the image should be bigger that they send me is there a way round this so when i blow up a image it looks like it has not been distored i am ok with photoshop as i am learning new tricks evryday any info would be great
I've created an image from scratch using Photoshop CS2 (I combined a number of images into one image), to discover I need to make the image larger. Do I need to start over, or is there a way to resize the image without degrading the quality of the image?
I am using a PC with Windows XP and cs3. When I go to image size and change the resolution from 240 to 72, "ok", save the file, close, reopen it and the resolution is back to 240. How can I fix this new problem?
