how do I resize an image in a layer by dragging it with the mouse? Can I get it to resize while retaining its original shape? I wanna fit some things together visually and I don't wanna screw around with numbers.
I am doing an animated theme for my girlfriend`s new handset. I have imported a small clip using imageready. The problem I now have is that I only want to use a certain (smaller) part of the picture. I can do this using the select option in every single frame, but isn`t there a way to select the part directly in the gif so that the selection is made in every frame??
how do I make the small black resizing squares appear for example if I create a text element, how do I resize it using the 4 corner black boxes, I can't see them... Or if I copy and paste something into a new image, how do I get the rezizing boxes to appear?
Lets say i want to resize something to 5x7 how do i do it ? i usally go to image resize but the problem i get is that i get like 5.679 or something when i change one the other one changes any ideas?
I designed a form in photoshop for somebody. I chose A4 size for the canvas from the preset sizes, but the problem is that I need to send it to the other person to print (I don't have a printer and they don't have photoshop).
I thought I'd save it as an image and send it to them to print out, but the image is huge (image->image size shows the document size as 21*29.7 cm but the pixel dimensions as 2480*3508 px).
My only choices (in the dropdown box), for changing the image size requires me to use either pixels or percent. I'm a bit confused as to why A4 size isn't A4 when you convert it to an image. Please could someone give me some pointers as to how I can change my PSD to an image that is A4 size,
I have drawn a few rectangles but want to make them all exaclty the same size and in certain positions. how do you view/change the height, width, x and y positions? In fireworks, the properties pane at the bottom shows the exact measurements and is easy to change. How is this done in photoshop 7.
Using Photoshop CS6, is there any way to make the up and down motion of control+option+pen ALSO control brush size? I keep making erroneous minute up/down changes to hardness or opacity while resizing left and right.
I am trying to resize a mask in Photshop CS6 and everytime I try to scale it the mask disappears and I cant see what Im doing. Is there a setting that I need to change so that I can see it?screenshots of what is happening when I try & resize.
I have the mask visible in the first screenshot. And the 2nd screenshot shows how it disappears when I try to resize.
For years I was using an older version of PS. I am new to CS6 Photoshop. I cannot figure out how to resize a text box. When I chose the box with the text tool, the borders of the box do not show up. To see the border I must hold down the option + command keys. I cannot change the size of the box without scaling the type.
Also, when I click the box with the move tool, I cannot see the border of the text box. I cannot even copy the text box.
This is something that I've been able to do without a problem in the past and now something has happened where it no longer works. When I insert a picture either into a new blank file or onto another picture and then click on the new picture to resize, it appears that the tool sees only the original document and not the photograph that I've just dragged onto it. It does not show the dotted line selection or the resize handles. Also when I try to use the resize menu option in either canvas or image option it changes the whole document and not the new photograph.
I would just like to ask coz' I love to make icons but I have a problem resizing them by 100x100. I'm using Photoshop 5.5 is it possible for me to do so?
I am trying to resize my digital photos to the normal 4x6 inches for printing, but when I enter the parameters to resize, either the width or height automatically changes and I can't get it to 4x6.
1) Open a raw file (.CR2) 2) output the file to JPG or open directly ===> i.e. the resulting image is 3888 x 2592 3) use Automate > Fit Image ===> i.e. 1200 pixels (reducing the image by a factor of 3.24) ======> The result should be 1200 x 800 pixels
However the batch conversion would be result in 1200 x 801 pixel.
Even if I were to add a step 2.5 as follows 2.5) image > image size > 1200 x 800
After automate > Fit Image (1200) it would still result in 1200 x 801 pixels!
What's broken with photoshop? The only fix I've stumbled across so far would be to use an external programme to strip all the exif and attached metadata, only then would the "Fit Image" script work.
Having one extra pixel doesn't really matter most of the times, but it's does get on my nerves. Advice sought: How can I fix this?
I'm trying to make a desing for threadless.com. The problem is resizing my desing for the submission. There is a four color limit so the best I've been able to do is pick "nearest neighbor" for resample image.
This keeps it at four colors, but it looks really bad. Anything else I've tried blures design and makes it too many colors. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
i have a big picture, image size is 523 x 350 pixels and 22" x 34" doc size with a ppi of 15.354. I want to make the picture smaller, so I can add some of it to a small banner that is 200x91 pixels. Can I do this? I've found tutorials to print a document like this, but I'm look for posting to the web. When I just resize the pixels and use the resample and constrain proportions option its just small and blurry. I'm using PS 7.

I'm using photoshop 8.0. I downloaded a dvd cover templete, seems to work fine. I cut and pasted an image into it, all went well then i wanted to resize it. I thought that you could just click on it and it would enable you to resize by grabbing the corner or something but you can't.
When I resize an image to a smaller size line and so on dont stay as sharp as they did from the original size....is there a way to prevent this?
Resizing up or down requires a remap of the pixels so there is almost always some interpolation and therefore softening.
But when resizing down you can improve the quality by picking you scale percentage carefully. If you scale to fifty percent, for instance, the interpolation can toss every other
pixel rather than interpreting inbetween them. I have had some improved results (I think) by using this method. In theory scaling down 25 percent tosses every forth pixel... 75 percent, 3 of out of four. So you might try scaling to on of these first and then doing another scale from there. It may seem counterintuative to do two scale and get a better result but I had a job a few years back that required holding the sharpness of a grid when scaled down. Back then I tested this and it seems to work. But it has been too long and so I wouldn't bet the farm on this one.
The other option is to set the interpolation method to Nearest Neighbor. This method doesn't fade between pixels, it just replicates or tosses the existing ones. It will keep things like lines sharp.
I'm creating a web page in Dreamweaver. I grab the photo I want to use for a header; & open it in Photoshop (CS3). I resize the photo to 7" wide...@ 72ppi, which will be the perfect width for the design I have in mind. I configure the resized photo into Dreamweaver; & it looks small...about 5-1/2" in width. I think...OK...maybe it's something to do w/ Dreamweaver's default resolution...so I preview the page in Internet Explorer...knowing the default browser resolution is 72ppi.
It's still 5-1/2" wide in IE.
Photoshop is telling me it's 7" wide, but it's 5-1/2" wide everywhere else.
I take photos of jewelry and work with them in Photoshop 6.0. I'm trying to take photo of very small items in closeup mode. If I print them out at normal size, they come out very clear but if I resize them so that I may fit many shots on a 8.5 X 11 inch page, the become very blurry. How do I resize closeup shots in photoshop so that they come out clear at smaller sizes?
All my images are 3008x2000, and I want to resize them down to a smaller scale for a web site. I know there must be a simple math equation to use to figure out what size would be safe where the images keep their proportion correct. In other words, at 3008x2000, if I reduce to 600x400, it looks out of proportion.
I have a very large Jpg, the size of a movie poster (27 inches x 41 inches). I am trying to make the entire thing the size of a postcard. When I make it smaller it becomes pixilated. It was 300 dpi before I resized and now I can see pixels.
