TUT :RESIZING IN PSP 9

[dedder]

I will show you now how easy it is to resize a picture for use in the web.
Have a picture ready to resize.Open the menu "Image / resize


A new window comes up, asking you what you want to do now. It's first to screenresolution we want to go, so type 75 as resolution, and check "maintain original print size"click OK


Open the same dialogue again,this time typin in the height of the picture to be,in my case,always 450 pixels.
uncheck the "maintain original print size"



After that I do a sharpen once. see picture to find menu.



By now ,the size is OK, we can export it,the picture show the menus used for this



A dialogue appears, where you can set the settings you want,giving you a preview of the settings,the compression I use is like in the picture below. When you click OK, you are prompted to save where ever you want your picture to be saved


Do we really need to do all this time after time? NO way!
The steps up to just before the exporting JPG ,can be done in one single step, with a script! Click on the button shown below, perform all the steps I explained, and the click the save button,and that's all there is to it.
Hope you like this mini tut.

Nice tutorial Hans, Paint shop pro tends to confuse me a lot. So I stick to photoshop.

my problem is, i have no mental concept of how big, for example, 450 pixels is! is that big? is it small? i can't judge by pixels!

450 pixels is the height of the pictures I post my caricatures.
Save one to disk,to look at if you're not sure.Set the zoom factor to 1:1 (or 100%) and there you have the size.In the info (image/info ,most programs give the option to change in measures that are common (cm-inch ,whatever)1957 pixels is the size of theA4, scanned at 200DPI (DPI = the number of Dots Per Inch)The size of this one was 8MB, the size of the small one was 13021 bytes...

I know this was old but...

Most people have their monitor set at either 800x600 or 1024x768 I do believe - because almost all wallpaper I find on the net are set at one or both of those sizes.

So 450 inheight like Hans pics would be small enough to fit easily within the window of your browser without needing to scroll up or down.

I post mine at 600 in height which might be a tad too tall - at least if your monitor is 800x600.

If you have to scroll left/right than the pic is probably set at greater than 800.

Also I've noticed that 100 pixels is pretty close to an inch - so if a pic is 800x600 like a wallpaper than it would be about 8 inches x 6 inches.

Hope this helps! ;D

Then it takes both, shoots one, milks the other and pours the milk down the drain. Then it requires you to fill out forms accounting for the missing cows.

I also post my images with 450 or 500px high and that´s not because of resising your window browser it´s because of time download!
loved the bureaucracy thing though ;D
