Join Julieanne Kost for an in-depth discussion in this video Changing document size, part of Photoshop CC 2018 Essential Training: The Basics.
- [Instructor] In order to change the size…of a document for a specific output device,…we'll use Photoshop's image size command.…We can choose image,…and then image size or use the keyboard…shortcut command option I.…On the left side of the dialogue…is a preview of the image area…and on the right hand side are…all of the image dimensions.…We can see that Photoshop automatically…gives me the hand tool so that I can reposition…the preview within the window.…
It also zooms the window to 100%…so that I can get an accurate view.…We can also click and then drag…to make the image size dialogue larger…and if I position my cursor over the image area,…I get a square that represents…the preview size so that if I click,…I can quickly navigate to previewing…different areas of the image.…Now, we can see that this file is 12 by eight inches…at 300 pixels per inch.…It's an almost 25 meg file…and it's 3,600 pixels by 2,400 pixels.…
If I turn off the option to resample…and then I make changes to the width, height,…or resolution,…well, we can change the print size…
