PSE 6.
I’m trying to use the Crop tool, but it doesn’t work the way I want. I want the cropped image to be a smaller sized file. What PSE does is after I define a crop rectangle, it then resample the image to maintain the original pixel size. I don’t want it to resample. I just want to crop off part of the picture, resulting in final size of fewer (unresampled) pixels.
In other words, if I start with a picture of 3000×2000 pixels and then crop out just the center, I should end up with a smaller image, say 1500×1000. But that’s not what PSE does. It then resamples the smaller crop area to maintain a total image size of 3000×2000. That’s not what I want.
Here’s what I want to do. Start with a picture of 3000×2000. I then want to crop a rectangle of exactly the same aspect ration as the original (3×2) and lose the pixels outside the crop area. The resulting pixel size should represent just the area I cropped. No resample.
Is there a way to tell PSE I don’t want it resampling my crops?
Thanks.
Bruce.
