Resizing Images 101: Adobe Photoshop Elements
By Badman
We’ll be using a Paid program for this method. There is a free trial
available. Go here to download it:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/main.html
Scroll down to the Download link
Then find your OS and Direct Download it.
This program is large at 228mb. It could take quite some time to
download.
Another bonus to this is that it has a Mac version.
1. Run the program
- locate your image file
2. Click on Image > Resize > Image size
4. Set the three slots. The two in the circle should be set to the
max. of 480 pixels for width and 640 pixels for length. Then where
the arrow is, make sure it says 72. I am not sure if it effects it
much in this program, but I always have it set thus when in Photoshop.
3. Quick fix- An excellent feature in this program
- Click on Enhance > quick fix
This will popup a scroll window. In this window you will see a host
of automatic adjustments you can make to your photo. There is also
an explanation of what each choice will do.
4. Click on File > Save As
Make sure the Save as Type is JPG.
5. Click on image options on the screen and set the quality.
6. now go find the image,
- Right click on it
- Select Properties
the size should be about right . If it is too big, you will need to
scroll the Quality bar to a lower number. I have found if you post an
image that is a full 480x640, you have to take the quality to 15-20
many times. It depends on what colors are used an how much color variety
is in your picture.
Hope this helps.
