i just clicked like and I swear it said 999 and when I clicked it an animation happened on the thumbs up thing. Whoa, I'm so honored because I only wanted to express my deepest appreciation for this video. I've struggled with understanding this issue for too long. Thankyou so much for your style and skill of explaining things.
I have been following your instruction almost since you started Photoshop Cafe years ago, you've always been one of the best and over so many years you continue to be. I also want to add that I will never forget your generosity, kindness and dedication. Thank you for another excellent tutorial.
Learnt so much here Colin, could you cover about banding of images in your upcoming vodeos ? how to remove them and why does it occur , the science behind it.
This two part series has been the explanation I've needed since I started in PS about six months ago. Thanks, this beginner series gives me a better understanding on how to work in PS.
OMG this is the one of the BEST tutorial on youtube! My 10+ years of confusions have come for an end NOW I am very confident on "Image Size& Resizing" You are the BEST Photoshop GURU.& Thank you So much for Sharing your knowledge and you valuable time _/\_
The info on and comparison of interpolation algorithms is useful and excellent. The examples throughout are terrific. Great job Colin. Maybe add "part 2" to the title since I nearly didnt watch this since I thought I already had seen it.
I really needed to see this tutorial, the whole subject was a mystery but now I have a good base for working and getting images to print. I will need to watch again but feel confident that I will get to grips with the topic. Thanks Mark from England
I SO wish there were 5 min versions of you amazing vids sir for those of us that just don’t have a half hour sometimes to learn your tips and tricks 🙏🏻⚡️💻💪🏻💥✌🏻
Loving learning with you, really good pace, covering all surrounding important bits, so its easy to follow and apply the knowledge wider. Big thanx, keep on posting :)
Thank you for your explanations of the various aspects of resizing. This tutorial was GREAT help to me (in spite of 4 or 5 commercial interruptions to my train of thought. Pisses me off.)
Hi Colin, I always like your detailed videos and I learn more and more. Finally I can say, that the old phrase : You can ´t teach an old dog new tricks- isn ´t true. Thx a lot😎
Thanks Colin, another clear and concise vid from you that I found very helpful. I presume that any required resizing should be done right at the end of any editing done in PS? (I just purchased your Selections premium content pack, invaluable stuff in there also, keep up the great work.)
Great to see an in-depth (yet understandable) explanation of resizing - especially the interpolation. Great stuff! Even that canvas trick for squaring the image was helpful - I would normally spend a couple of minutes faffing with the crop tool to do that. I would love to see more deep-dive explanations of things like the re-sizing dialogue; tools that are considered basics and that we use often, but without really understanding what the menu/dialog options mean.
Thank you Colin, this was very helpful. I save the URL so I can return to it when I need it; works for me;-) I don't mind a longer video because you explain things not to fast and repeat now and then and for something like this that's very pleasant! A fan from Holland:-)
That was awesome Colin - thank you so much. One more unanswered question for me is that viewers with different size computer monitors never seem to have quality trouble viewing the same web page so I presume the monitor's software (drivers) must be doing some interpolation of the images to make them fit the monitor. So if I send a very large image that is set for example to 300 dpi for printing to a monitor that only needs 82 ppi and although images never seem to be displayed as too large for the monitor and never cropped to just a portion of the image is it correct then that the software (drivers) controlling the monitor is doing some type of interpolation again to downsize the image to fit the monitor? Also I presume that at some point if the image is huge (e.g. mural) being "crammed" onto a typical computer monitor then the quality would be noticeably reduced because of the drastic resizing (downsizing) that I am assuming is being done by the monitor's drivers.
I wonder when I make presets for my cropping for art templates for print, W+H+resolution, how does Ps know which of the algorithms to use if enlarging when it crops to the correct template size I need? The newest one? Also, when I save a Ps file also as a jpg for upload, I asked in part one, what the difference, now I think compression, is between baseline, baseline optimized and progressive? I never use the save to web box you did, because I'm getting the image ready for printing. I thought progressive would be the least compression, but it actually comes up as the smallest file size of the three. Unless for a duvet cover, I usually do not have to worry about the file size being too large, and would like the least compression possible. Thanks so much! Vikki
Great video and made all 99% clear .. The missing 1 % when (at 17 min mark) you start using the width height resolution . Say i put in high resolution and print size will photoshop automatically enlarge my total pixel count using its algorithm's ?
Hi Colin, great tutorial, I saw part 1 as well and put a question there as well and repeating it again. I want to resize a image so that it fit that picture on the display monitor, who can I do that?
Hi Colin, this was a very useful video! Two questions: 1. You made the first image square by first increasing the height of the canvas. This was only possible because the image had a single colour background right? If the image was a complete photo you would have had to crop the image width from 939 to 932, am I correct? 2. Regarding the 2nd image. You resized and cropped the image in one go by using the crop tool and setting BxH and a new resolution, but with that tool you are not able to choose the interpolation method, so why would you do it that way? Thank you so much!
Great subject. Outstanding tutorial. Amazing demonstration. You brought it all home. Thank you so very much for this. Is there a way to change the canvas size in earlier version of PS comparable to the one you demonstrated for CS 20?
Great info Colin. Thank you. I have a question . Often when entering comps or for camera club they ask for images to be jpg 1620 x 1080 px. Depending on the content of the image the file size can still be around 1mb or more , but for others the file size is very small. I'm not sure how to get around the very small file size ?? Also if a file size is only 500kb does that mean its poor quality for comp? I struggle with this particularly with images I've cropped to square. Any comments to help me understand would be great :)
Hi. If I can set the right size and resolution for print by using W x H x Resolution in crop tool, do I need "image size" at all to set size and resolution for print? (I don't talk about resampling). If I think correctly, "image size" in image tab let me change print size without loosing quality (because resolution is changing with size) whereas crop tool W x H x Resolution let me force size and resolution what I need. Am I right?
Great video Colin so how is this algorithm compared to, for example, Topaz Gigapixel AI? If you were to enlarge an image very large, is it worth to use Gigapixel AI or would Photoshop do the same? Thanks for your response and perhaps you can do a tutorial on Gigapixel AI and all the pros and cons with it. Thank you.
Great explanation. Followed directions to the letter on downloaded photo but do not see any changes when going though the different modes. What am I doing wrong?
@@photoshopcafe Yes, all numbers in image size exact. I think maybe the changes were too subtle for me to see and my monitor is not top of the line. Thanks so much for the quick reply and be assured I am one of your biggest fans. You are clear and thorough, and I intend to watch all of your videos!
Hi so I want a 5x7 how do I not lose part of an image if it's being cropped? someone suggested content aware but that doesn't work all the time. In other words, the image of the boats- you had to lose part of the image to size it. How could you keep the entire image at 6x10 (I think that was what you used)
Excellent presentation and quite timely. I need to make 40"x60" gallery wraps. A tutorial on sizing the file and how you would create the edges would be interesting to see. I'm assuming I would resize before creating the edges. In the past I have used On1 Resize-reflective edges and was happy with the results but use plugins way less these days. Thanks!
I have an older Nikon (D80) and the raw images are 12.907" x 8.64” at 300dpi. Is it possible to enlarge this image for a 30”x40” print and still maintain a decent quality. Lab requests 300dpi jpg files. If not how can I determine the max size print from a raw file?
If you choose their recommended size, you will get less compression, Each platform has a size that you can easily look up. I don';t recall all the current sizes off the top of my head, maybe someone else can pipe in, or do a quick google search.
