Chris Mattia teaches you the basics of image resizing in Photoshop so your next teaching and learning presentation has perfect images.
- [Instructor] Scaling your images for a presentation…is really straightforward,…and it only takes three steps.…Crop to the correct aspect ratio, scale the image,…and export it out to an appropriate file type…for your presentation tool.…Pretty much every presentation program on the market…has moved to a predominantly widescreen presentation layout…that matches HD displays in a 16 x 9 aspect ratio.…So that's the best setting to crop full screen images to.…Now grab your crop tool and go up to the drop down menu…here in your options bar and set your ratio to 16 x 9.…
Then select your crop and press enter or return.…I'll jump to the move tool to get away from the crop tool…and then go up to the image menu and select image size.…Now for most presentations,…if you build your slides at 720p you're going to be golden.…So you'll want to make sure that the with and height options…are linked together,…and that your units are set to pixels.…Then since the height value for a 720p image is 720 pixels,…that makes it easy to remember what to enter.…
