i just clicked like and I swear it said 999 and when I clicked it an animation happened on the thumbs up thing. Whoa, I'm so honored because I only wanted to express my deepest appreciation for this video. I've struggled with understanding this issue for too long. Thankyou so much for your style and skill of explaining things.
I have been following your instruction almost since you started Photoshop Cafe years ago, you've always been one of the best and over so many years you continue to be. I also want to add that I will never forget your generosity, kindness and dedication. Thank you for another excellent tutorial.
I SO wish there were 5 min versions of you amazing vids sir for those of us that just don’t have a half hour sometimes to learn your tips and tricks 🙏🏻⚡️💻💪🏻💥✌🏻
Hi Colin, I always like your detailed videos and I learn more and more. Finally I can say, that the old phrase : You can ´t teach an old dog new tricks- isn ´t true. Thx a lot😎
OMG this is the one of the BEST tutorial on youtube! My 10+ years of confusions have come for an end NOW I am very confident on "Image Size& Resizing" You are the BEST Photoshop GURU.& Thank you So much for Sharing your knowledge and you valuable time _/\_
Learnt so much here Colin, could you cover about banding of images in your upcoming vodeos ? how to remove them and why does it occur , the science behind it.
This two part series has been the explanation I've needed since I started in PS about six months ago. Thanks, this beginner series gives me a better understanding on how to work in PS.
The info on and comparison of interpolation algorithms is useful and excellent. The examples throughout are terrific. Great job Colin. Maybe add "part 2" to the title since I nearly didnt watch this since I thought I already had seen it.
I really needed to see this tutorial, the whole subject was a mystery but now I have a good base for working and getting images to print. I will need to watch again but feel confident that I will get to grips with the topic. Thanks Mark from England
Loving learning with you, really good pace, covering all surrounding important bits, so its easy to follow and apply the knowledge wider. Big thanx, keep on posting :)
Thank you for your explanations of the various aspects of resizing. This tutorial was GREAT help to me (in spite of 4 or 5 commercial interruptions to my train of thought. Pisses me off.)
Great to see an in-depth (yet understandable) explanation of resizing - especially the interpolation. Great stuff! Even that canvas trick for squaring the image was helpful - I would normally spend a couple of minutes faffing with the crop tool to do that. I would love to see more deep-dive explanations of things like the re-sizing dialogue; tools that are considered basics and that we use often, but without really understanding what the menu/dialog options mean.
Thank you Colin, this was very helpful. I save the URL so I can return to it when I need it; works for me;-) I don't mind a longer video because you explain things not to fast and repeat now and then and for something like this that's very pleasant! A fan from Holland:-)
Thanks Colin, another clear and concise vid from you that I found very helpful. I presume that any required resizing should be done right at the end of any editing done in PS? (I just purchased your Selections premium content pack, invaluable stuff in there also, keep up the great work.)
Great video and made all 99% clear .. The missing 1 % when (at 17 min mark) you start using the width height resolution . Say i put in high resolution and print size will photoshop automatically enlarge my total pixel count using its algorithm's ?
I wonder when I make presets for my cropping for art templates for print, W+H+resolution, how does Ps know which of the algorithms to use if enlarging when it crops to the correct template size I need? The newest one? Also, when I save a Ps file also as a jpg for upload, I asked in part one, what the difference, now I think compression, is between baseline, baseline optimized and progressive? I never use the save to web box you did, because I'm getting the image ready for printing. I thought progressive would be the least compression, but it actually comes up as the smallest file size of the three. Unless for a duvet cover, I usually do not have to worry about the file size being too large, and would like the least compression possible. Thanks so much! Vikki
That was awesome Colin - thank you so much. One more unanswered question for me is that viewers with different size computer monitors never seem to have quality trouble viewing the same web page so I presume the monitor's software (drivers) must be doing some interpolation of the images to make them fit the monitor. So if I send a very large image that is set for example to 300 dpi for printing to a monitor that only needs 82 ppi and although images never seem to be displayed as too large for the monitor and never cropped to just a portion of the image is it correct then that the software (drivers) controlling the monitor is doing some type of interpolation again to downsize the image to fit the monitor? Also I presume that at some point if the image is huge (e.g. mural) being "crammed" onto a typical computer monitor then the quality would be noticeably reduced because of the drastic resizing (downsizing) that I am assuming is being done by the monitor's drivers.
Hi Colin, this was a very useful video! Two questions: 1. You made the first image square by first increasing the height of the canvas. This was only possible because the image had a single colour background right? If the image was a complete photo you would have had to crop the image width from 939 to 932, am I correct? 2. Regarding the 2nd image. You resized and cropped the image in one go by using the crop tool and setting BxH and a new resolution, but with that tool you are not able to choose the interpolation method, so why would you do it that way? Thank you so much!
Hi Colin, great tutorial, I saw part 1 as well and put a question there as well and repeating it again. I want to resize a image so that it fit that picture on the display monitor, who can I do that?
Excellent presentation and quite timely. I need to make 40"x60" gallery wraps. A tutorial on sizing the file and how you would create the edges would be interesting to see. I'm assuming I would resize before creating the edges. In the past I have used On1 Resize-reflective edges and was happy with the results but use plugins way less these days. Thanks!
Great subject. Outstanding tutorial. Amazing demonstration. You brought it all home. Thank you so very much for this. Is there a way to change the canvas size in earlier version of PS comparable to the one you demonstrated for CS 20?
Hi. If I can set the right size and resolution for print by using W x H x Resolution in crop tool, do I need "image size" at all to set size and resolution for print? (I don't talk about resampling). If I think correctly, "image size" in image tab let me change print size without loosing quality (because resolution is changing with size) whereas crop tool W x H x Resolution let me force size and resolution what I need. Am I right?
Great info Colin. Thank you. I have a question . Often when entering comps or for camera club they ask for images to be jpg 1620 x 1080 px. Depending on the content of the image the file size can still be around 1mb or more , but for others the file size is very small. I'm not sure how to get around the very small file size ?? Also if a file size is only 500kb does that mean its poor quality for comp? I struggle with this particularly with images I've cropped to square. Any comments to help me understand would be great :)
Hi so I want a 5x7 how do I not lose part of an image if it's being cropped? someone suggested content aware but that doesn't work all the time. In other words, the image of the boats- you had to lose part of the image to size it. How could you keep the entire image at 6x10 (I think that was what you used)
Great video Colin so how is this algorithm compared to, for example, Topaz Gigapixel AI? If you were to enlarge an image very large, is it worth to use Gigapixel AI or would Photoshop do the same? Thanks for your response and perhaps you can do a tutorial on Gigapixel AI and all the pros and cons with it. Thank you.
If you choose their recommended size, you will get less compression, Each platform has a size that you can easily look up. I don';t recall all the current sizes off the top of my head, maybe someone else can pipe in, or do a quick google search.
Great explanation. Followed directions to the letter on downloaded photo but do not see any changes when going though the different modes. What am I doing wrong?
@@photoshopcafe Yes, all numbers in image size exact. I think maybe the changes were too subtle for me to see and my monitor is not top of the line. Thanks so much for the quick reply and be assured I am one of your biggest fans. You are clear and thorough, and I intend to watch all of your videos!
I have an older Nikon (D80) and the raw images are 12.907" x 8.64” at 300dpi. Is it possible to enlarge this image for a 30”x40” print and still maintain a decent quality. Lab requests 300dpi jpg files. If not how can I determine the max size print from a raw file?

Thanks so much
this has been my struggle a bit, trying to resize for print. Thanks for your channel very happy follower my friend
I like that you have STOPS and use the magnifier to explain. I will tune into these more often!
I SO wish there were 5 min versions of you amazing vids sir for those of us that just don’t have a half hour sometimes to learn your tips and tricks 🙏🏻⚡️💻💪🏻💥✌🏻
There are chapter breaks in the playbar, check it out
Yep amazing tips I love them. Thank you Colin. Pls continue with basics coz they are really important and no one wants to explain them anymore.
Its definitely more work to explain the basics.
Well... now I know why the others gave up with basics lol
Hi Colin, I always like your detailed videos and I learn more and more. Finally I can say, that the old phrase : You can ´t teach an old dog new tricks- isn ´t true. Thx a lot😎

Awesome tutorials 1 & 2 - More like these please.
Wow! Are you a mind reader? I have been looking for tutorials on this and voila...there you are. I really needed this! Thank you!
Glad it was timely

Thanks for the info on the 75% quality for jpgs on the web.
Fantastic, been looking for something like this as I have ben getting fustrated, Thank you, clear and easy to follow. Appreciated.

watching your playlist now, thanks for updating them
Thanks again Colin. I will probably have to watch again!
Well, I've been doing this since Photoshop Elements 2, and I still learnt a *lot* watching this :-) Thanks Colin!
A difficult subject to grasp made more difficult by misinformation on the ole inner web. Very nice job explaining it, once again.
Can you describe the differences between canvas size and image size?
Loving learning with you, really good pace, covering all surrounding important bits, so its easy to follow and apply the knowledge wider. Big thanx, keep on posting :)
Good detail...I learned a bunch. Now time to practice.
you really one of the best
Thank you for your explanations of the various aspects of resizing. This tutorial was GREAT help to me (in spite of 4 or 5 commercial interruptions to my train of thought. Pisses me off.)
Excellent content, expertly presented making this channel our "go to" resource for PS skills!
This was a great explanation. Thanks so much.
Great video!
Very nice follow up to the first video, Colin. Question: Is it better to enlarge by stages or just do the enlarging in a single step? Thank you?
Thanks for the excellent video!
So much great info!
Learned something new today. Thanks

photoshopCAFE thanks!
Great subject. Outstanding tutorial. Amazing demonstration. You brought it all home. Thank you so very much for this. Is there a way to change the canvas size in earlier version of PS comparable to the one you demonstrated for CS 20?
you have to either use the crop tool (you can crop larger) or use canvas size from the menu
Great explanation and demonstration. What happens when we convert photos to a pdf or some form of vector file that it's no longer pixel dependant?
When you convert to a PDF, it embeds the photo at the resolution you choose. It doesn't vectorize the photo.
when changing the value, it changes the ruler, what do you mean by it? it means the print image will be bigger or nothing change.....

Good question. I don't have gigapixel to compare.
Show us how to "offset" the FB compression. What is the best file size to send to social media site?
If you choose their recommended size, you will get less compression, Each platform has a size that you can easily look up. I don';t recall all the current sizes off the top of my head, maybe someone else can pipe in, or do a quick google search.
Thanks for the recap.
Just one question. Would you recommend upscaling before or after retouching?
I would suggest before.
Definitely before.
Great explanation. Followed directions to the letter on downloaded photo but do not see any changes when going though the different modes. What am I doing wrong?
did you have resample turned on, and change the size?
@@photoshopcafe Yes, all numbers in image size exact. I think maybe the changes were too subtle for me to see and my monitor is not top of the line. Thanks so much for the quick reply and be assured I am one of your biggest fans. You are clear and thorough, and I intend to watch all of your videos!

You can only resize it and determine for yourself if the quality is acceptable, its very subjective and also depends on the photo.
off topic: I wonder what everyone's thoughts on GIMP vs Photoshop are
since 2000 we never could do it write
Thanks
Thanks so much! Glad I can help
No problem at all, thank you for sharing all your expertise and knowledge.
