To downsize a photo using Adobe Photoshop starter edition 3.0?

Question

Does anyone know the steps using Adobe 3.0 to make image smaller to send e-mail. Some one told me there's a way to get it down to #6....whatever that means.

Answer 1

Open the picture.
Up top, click on "Image."
Go down to "Resize" and then click "Image Size."
The easiest thing to do, which usually solves your problem anyway, is to change the number in the bottom window for "Resolution" to 72 pixels/inch. This is the old standard for "Screen Resolution," since you don't need to send an image with better resolution than most monitors have.

You can also change the pixel dimension directly by entering a new number in the "Width" window. The "Height" dimension will change automatically if you have not unchecked "Constrain Proportions," which is the default setting.

When you close an image in Photoshop Elements, you are prompted as to the "Quality" of the image. You can use the slider or enter a number from 1 for the lowest to 12 for the highest quality. Perhaps "someone" meant to save the image as a #6 quality. This would cut down the bytes of the image considerably. Before you change the number, look down at the bottom of the "JPEG Options" window and you will see the file size. If you change it to "6" from a "10" or "12," for instance, it will end up being a file less than half the size.

In fact, maybe you can just try this first. Open your image and hit "Save as..." (also accessible by hitting the [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[S] keys together) and just see what quality it is already. If it's higher than "6," just change the setting to "6" and see what happens to the file size. If it's small enough, go ahead and save, using a new name, such as "Photoname_small," so you don't overwrite your original. If it's not small enough, "cancel" the saving operation and resize as I have described above.

Good luck. E-mail me if this doesn't work and we can work through the process.

nicely to be straightforward, photoshop is the superb one obtainable. you should use a loose trial of it which lasts for 30 days, then you honestly can come to a decision if it truly is nicely honestly worth the money to purchase it afterwards or no longer. in case you want a loose option then photofiltre is tremendous, it truly is not any longer practically as good as photoshop in my opinion notwithstanding it truly is the superb one i will imagine of that would not fee.
