TO
RESIZE IMAGES FOR DIGITAL PROJECTION IN COMPETITIONS
(Using
Photoshop)
1. [OPEN] Image in Photoshop. Flatten any layers
(duplicate if wanted later)
2. From task bar click on [IMAGE]
3.
From drop down menu for [MODE] check that RGB and 8 Bits Channel are
ticked.
4. From same menu click on [IMAGE SIZE].
In [Image
Size] box
(a) Make sure that [Resample Image] is ticked
(b)
Change Resolution to 72 p.p.i.
(c) Check your pixel dimensions. If
the width is more than 1024, change it to 1024
(d) Now check
your (unaltered or altered) height. If this is more than 768, change
it to 768.
If the width
was 1024 it will now be smaller (this is correct).
Example: A
square image will end up 768 x 768. A 'portrait' image might end up
(for example) 576 w x 768 h
5. From
[FILE] Select [SAVE AS]
In [Save as] Box
(a) [File name]: Type
in the Exact Title you wish to give your entry.
(b) [Format]: From
drop down menu select [Jpeg]
(c) [Save In]: (Top of Box) From drop
down List choose Location of choice
6. Finally click on [SAVE]
(bottom right of box)
This will save your image to a location
(and folder) ready to Email or copy to a Disk for digital projection
in the Digital Competitions.
This leaves your original (photoshop)
Image unaltered in its original location, provided you click NO when
asked if you wish to save changes to your original image, when
closing down.
QUICK METHOD
To crop any part of your image down to 1024 X 768 pixels.
1.
Open Image in Photoshop
2. Select Crop Tool
3. Change settings
on Task Bar to Width 1024 px Height 768 px Resolution 72
Important
that you type ‘px’ after the size. (Resolution is default at
pixels per Inch)
4. Crop area of your choice. (It can be as small
an area as you wish) and it will always be 1024px x 768px and
72ppi
5. and 6. as above.
Note: If the
image is 'portrait' shape, you may need to do a bit of 'trial and
error' as the maximum height projectable is 768px and the width will
therefore be less. How much less will depend on your picture.
