591 Increasing the resolution of your Twirl art

- [Narrator] In this movie I'll show you…how to increase the resolution of you twirl filter art,…and this is a very important step, and let me explain why.…I'll go up to the image menu,…and choose the image size command,…and I'll change this option from percent to inches…so that you can see that at a resolution of 300 pixels…per inch that the image is just six and a half inches wide…by four and a third inches tall,…which is obviously quite small.…But that's actually a good thing when you're applying…processor intensive smart filters in Photoshop,…because if you start with a high resolution image…those filters are going to take forever to apply,…especially this guy right here, radial blur,…which is one of the slowest functions in all of Photoshop.…

And it's especially bad when we're applying it…multiple times inside of a single composition.…And so what you want to do is start…with a low resolution image and then after…you get everything the way you want it,…turn it into a high resolution image,…which is going to take a fair amount of time…
