I am fairly new to Photoshop and I am using PS CS. Tell me if my thinking is correct in regards to cropping.
I am processing an image from my 4MP digital camera at full resolution. I bring it into PS and use the crop tool. I enter 7in by 5in for the dimensions and blank out the resolution field. I then crop to 7 x 5. When I look at the image data, the size is 7 x 5 and the resolution is over 300.
The image has not been degraded because no pixels have been added or removed. Correct? It is now formatted for the exact size I want the print to be.
When creating collages, what is the best method to use for copying individual images to the collage image I want to create? How do you get the individual images the right size to fit into the collage without degrading the individual images? I have been copying the individual images to the collage image and then using Free Transform to resize the image in my collage image. I suspect that this method degrades the image, however. I then crop to remove extraneous pixels from the image and reduce the file size.
Is there a better way to get individual images to the correct size to fit into the collage without degrading the images?
