Resizing help?
I want to resize my photo, currently it is at 1360x2800. I haven't resized my photos in a long time so I don't exactly remember how. I'm using colorsync utility. It's asking me whether I want to change the scale , height, or width. The problem is, I don't know what to change it to and I've random numbers but it blurs the picture  So any help with this will be appreciated. Thanks Faye Dec 06 14 12:15 pm Link If it's a jpg: 1- Open it in Preview 2- File, Rename (you don't want to lose the original). 3- Tools, Adjust Size 4- Put in a number for either Width or Height (but not both). 5- OK Dec 06 14 12:26 pm Link Santa Claus wrote: I usually set my longest side to 1000 for internet use. It is still pretty big, but most sites can handle it Dec 06 14 01:34 pm Link I made a webpage for questions like this! https://infohost.nmt.edu/~schlake/resize.cgi It's pretty dumb. But it resizes things! Dec 06 14 01:38 pm Link Faststone Photo Resizer is the easiest way to do it. Free. One of a number of programs they provide. http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDetail.htm http://www.faststone.org/FSResizerDownload.htm Dec 06 14 01:42 pm Link Santa Claus wrote: +1 Dec 07 14 03:33 pm Link I once heard that when resizing to a smaller size, it's best to do it in increments of 10% or less until you get to the desired size. Supposedly, that keeps the quality higher than if one makes a single big jump to a smaller size. I found a PhotoShop action that does exactly that and that's what I use. Perhaps some of the resizing software does that too. Dec 07 14 05:11 pm Link |
