HOW TO RESIZE AN IMAGE IN PHOTOSHOP AND SAVE AS JPEG

  • I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND CREATING A FOLDER ON YOUR DESKTOP SOLELY FOR THE MONTHLY COMPETITION. WHEN YOU HAVE DECIDED ON THE TWO IMAGES YOU ARE GOING TO SUBMIT COPY OR SAVE THEM TO THIS FOLDER. THEN YOU WILL STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL IMAGE IN YOUR ORIGINAL FOLDER

 

  • FIRSTLY, OPEN YOUR IMAGE
  • GO TO “IMAGE” IN THE TOP MENU AND SCROOL DOWN TO “IMAGE SIZE”

(FOR THE COMPETITIONS WE WILL BE RESIZING IN PIXELS TO 2000 ON THE LONG SIDE, IF YOUR IMAGE IS LANDSCAPE THAT’S THE WIDTH AND IF ITS PORTRAIT IT’S THE HEIGHT, IF ITS SQUARE IT WILL BE BOTH)

  • MAKE SURE THE BOX IS TICKED BESIDE RESAMPLE
  • MAKE SURE THE RESOLUTION IS 300DPI OR 360DPI (NO MORE AND NO LESS)
  • CHANGE THE MEASUREMENT BESIDE THE WIDTH TO PIXELS
  • THEN TYPE in 2000 IN THE BOX BESIDE WIDTH (OR HEIGHT DEPENDING ON YOUR PHOTO)
  • CLICK OK – YOUR PIC SHOULD NOW BE THE CORRECT SIZE

 

  • TO SAVE YOUR IMAGE GO TO “FILE” IN THE TOP MENU AND SCROOL DOWN TO “SAVE AS”
  • HIGHLY RECOMMEND NAMING THE FILE SOMETHING RECOGNISABLE LIKE “FEB COMP IMAGE 1“
  • IN THE BOX BESIDE FILE TYPE SCROLL TO JPEG (NOT JPEG 2000)
  • CLICK SAVE

HOW TO RESIZE AN IMAGE IN LIGHTROOM AND SAVE AS JPEG

1 – when you have finished editing in the Develop module, return to the Library module.
2 – Highlight the images you want to resize and hit the ‘Export button’ on the bottom righthand side of your screen

    300 resolution in box 3 and pixels per inch in box 4.

When you have emailed the images to Brian, you can delete them from your desktop as you have the original images in Lightroom.
