You can resize an image in Adobe Photoshop using the "Image Size" feature. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Open the Image:
Launch Adobe Photoshop.
Open the image you want to resize by going to "File" > "Open" and selecting the image file.
Access the "Image Size" Dialog Box:
Once the image is Image Manipulation Service open, go to the "Image" menu at the top-left corner of the screen.
Choose "Image Size":
From the "Image" menu, select "Image Size." This will open the "Image Size" dialog box.
Adjust Dimensions:
In the "Image Size" dialog box, you'll see options to adjust the dimensions of the image. These dimensions can be in pixels, inches, centimeters, or other units.
Maintain Aspect Ratio:
To maintain the aspect ratio (proportions) of the image while resizing, make sure the "Constrain Proportions" or "Maintain Aspect Ratio" option is checked. This prevents distortion.
Set New Dimensions:
Enter the new width or height value you want for your image. The other dimension will adjust automatically if you have the aspect ratio maintained.
Resolution:
You can also adjust the resolution (pixels per inch) of the image. This is important for print quality. For web use, the resolution is often set to 72 pixels per inch.
Choose Resampling Method:
Photoshop offers different resampling methods (bicubic, bilinear, nearest neighbor, etc.) for resizing. Choose the method that best suits your needs.
Preview and Apply:
As you make adjustments, you'll see a preview of how the image will look after resizing. Once you're satisfied with the settings, click the "OK" button to apply the changes.
Save the Image:
After resizing, you can save the image by going to "File" > "Save" or "File" > "Save As." You can choose a new file name or overwrite the original file.
Remember that resizing an image might result in a loss of image quality, especially if you're making it smaller. If you're reducing the size significantly, consider making a copy of the original image before resizing so you can preserve the original quality if needed.
