I have only posted photos taken with my Nikon Digtal. Now I've had some of my photos taken with my Canon AE1 SLR developed. I would like to post some of them. But the size they are automatically shows them to be 680x832 pixels. How do I change that? What do I do in my PHotoshop Image Sizing to change it? Can anyone help me?This is a photo I scanned on my scanner, should I maybe be scanning the negative instead?
(*smacks translator device against a rock*) .. I'm sorry, there seems to be something wrong with my oregonian translator .. It told me that you were asking how to resize an image ... That can't be right, can it?
(*Deep Sigh*) ...
could you specify whether your image is horizontal and 832 wide x 680 high? .. or .. vertical and 680 wide x 832 high?
do you know that, when you scan your photo, you can make it bigger in the scanning process? .. (somebody with more intestinal fortitude will have to walk you thru that)
Since you have Photoshop, use the crop tool set to one of the resolutions that is acceptable to Caedes. Drag out the selection and press the check mark. Quick and to the point:-)
Well since you scanned it yourself I'm guessing that it's a scanning problem. I don't know how your scanner works exactly, but it might be a good idea to scan the photos at a high resolution (600 dpi etc.). That should give you a digital image of higher resolutions 1600+ x 1200+ which you can then later resize to the accepted sizes.
E.g: Let's say it's a 5 x 4 print.
If you scan at 600 dpi:
5 x 600 = 3000
4 x 600 = 2400
So your digital image should be in a resolution of 3000 x 2400 pixels. You can then resize/crop that to 1600 x 1200 or whatever resolution you need.
I don't know if that explanation was clear enough, so let me know if you need a bit more help.
If Photoshop is not accessible or you have other problems, just open up Paint and play around with the Image: Stretch-Skew options. I always crop mine to 57% reduction, but you have different dimensions of pictures, so you'll have to figure it out. After you're done, just save it.
off topic, but tbob's avatar happened to me once...kindof. I was running along playing with a toy (this was a long while ago) and my mom opened a shart edged drawer and SMACK! But his avatar is just a *tad* bit more intense.
Or you dont have to crop, just make a border around the image! Yay, borders! Then make the whole image at a 4:3 ratio (eg 1600x1200 800x600 etc). If your wondering how to make borders there are a few ppl *up there* who can help you. Im a newb.
