dear all,
i’m just learning some basic 2d (i work mainly in 3d) and am in the middle of reducing/cropping some of my images so that they fit neatly on a web page. i have a couple of questions:
1. when i reduce (resample) an image, in the resample dialogue there is no easy way to just reduce by a given multiplier (e.g. 0.5) and at the same time, see what the resulting size will be.
for example – i have an image that is 2592*1944 pixels. i would like to be able to enter a multiplier and see what the resulting resolution would be /before/ i commit to the new size. this is possible in a very old version of corel photopaint that i have and so my first question is can this be done in photoshop or do i have to resize elsewhere?
2. should i only reduce by certain multipliers or is any value ok? i searched and read a few posts on this but didn’t find anything conclusive for reductions.
e.g. i have an image 2592 * 1944 and need to reduce to 600*450. i want the resampled image to look as good as it can. should i reduce by the nearest available mult and then crop the rest or is it safe to just crop straight to the required resolution (assuming that the aspect ratio remains the same)?
3. final question – if i use the crop tool and specify the resolution, i can scale the cropping area and whatever area i choose will be cropped to the required size. very good if the answer to question 2 is ‘YES, you can reduce directly to required resolution’.
however, is it possible for the crop tool to work like this: i set my resolution for the crop tool. now i can see the cropping area on the image. the crop area is exactly the res that i specified and will crop the image without resampling?
hope that makes sense.
TIA
