Hi everyone, Steve here. In this video, I show you how easy it is to crop and resize your photos so they'll fit in any frame size you need, and how to make sure they'll print with the highest quality, using nothing more than the Crop Tool in Photoshop. We start with the reason why it can be a challenge to resize a photo to match your frame size, and why Photoshop's Image Size command doesn't really help. Then, we learn why the Crop Tool is the best way to crop and resize your photos all at once! You'll find the complete written version and PDF for this lesson on my website (bit.ly/2OIUCCS).

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Isaiah Khalid thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Your voice is so perfect to listen to, I don't get lost in anything you're saying which tends to happen to me a lot when listening to tutorial videos. Thank you so much for these essentials Steve!
Excellent video. Very clear, step by step instructions, not glossing over anything so I did not even have to rewind to review anything. Now I know how to resize correctly. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your video You did a great description. Is there a way to crop a photo to fit into a semi-triangle shape. So it's 5.1 at the top and 5.5 at the bottom?
+Photoshop Essentials great video, thank you. The part where at 5:10 you mention that sometimes losing part of the image cannot be avoided -so there is absolutely no way/other way aside from what is covered in this video to somehow shrink an image to make it fit the aspect ratio/dimensions for printing? I am guessing not, its just that I am trying to print an image 7x5 and have followed the steps in this video but similary to at 5:10, I cannot fit the entirety of the image in, have to lose parts of the image :(..thanks a lot
Hi Steve. I paint watercolor landscapes and as the entire landscape is the subject, I really don't want to crop any of my image. I have some previously painted pieces that are 16 x 12 and others that are 14 x 10. Is there any way to resize both of these sizes to 14 x 11 (the size I prefer to print) without cropping or skewing the image??
Save it as a PDF with the highest resolution (no compression), you can send it as JPG too making sure you are keeping the Color profile checked, yes it may not be the best option but I have some great results with it as well. If file size isn't really a matter to you then definitely go PDF.
@@frmzwallarts9841 Thank you, I needed to know this as well. However, when saving as jpg should the "Image Options" Quality of 12 Maximum also be selected? What "Format Options" should be selected? EDIT: Saving as ...PDF: Best Output Options?
hi, thanks for the vid. i tried doing this with a photo that was very small. i changed it to my photo frame size and once i had done it, the picture was very distorted. could you please advise on how to change very small photos to fit to frame please
hii, can you do a video explaining how to resize all images to the same size for instagram as well as adding same width and height white or black border around it so that all image size including the border looks same? because when you take pictures sometimes it becomes horizontal or vertical. any easy way to however type of captured image to all square size with border
Yes, if you want to avoid stretching or squishing the image. The only other way to do it if you want to avoid cropping would be to add a border around the image so that the border is the same aspect ratio as the frame, and then the uncropped image would be displayed inside the border.

Excellent and straight forward. Thank you. Should the image be converted into a smart object prior to resizing, in order to preserve original?
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Isaiah Khalid thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.

@Isaiah Khalid it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!

Steve, did you ever create the tutorial for Select and mask?
If I wanna keep more details using the preserve detail 2.0 option, how to proceed? (Considering that I would print in a large scale such as 10m*8m)

Is there any way to resize both of these sizes to 14 x 11 (the size I prefer to print) without cropping or skewing the image??
What happens if you crop without setting the resolution? Can you change the print resolution later without effecting the image.
How to I save the file if I have to send to a printer? Like I don't want the size to change while saving it
Save it as a PDF with the highest resolution (no compression), you can send it as JPG too making sure you are keeping the Color profile checked, yes it may not be the best option but I have some great results with it as well. If file size isn't really a matter to you then definitely go PDF.

Quality of the photo isnt the same after cropping, its getting blurry
That's still hard for me to understand :(
Sorry to hear that. Which part are you having trouble with?
لا يا شيخ شو هل عالم هاد قالThat's still hard for me to understand :( وجع شو الصعب شو ولد صغير طفل هههههه مين هون عرب
So basically it shows us how to print PART of our photo at 8x10.
Yes, if you want to avoid stretching or squishing the image. The only other way to do it if you want to avoid cropping would be to add a border around the image so that the border is the same aspect ratio as the frame, and then the uncropped image would be displayed inside the border.
is it ok if my preview window is blurred after I cropped to my desired dimension?
