Chapter 4: Picture It! Basics

Choosing a resolution

While resizing an image, select a resolution appropriate for its intended use. For high quality printing, choose 300 dpi; for Web and e-mail, choose 72 dpi.

Basic Image Formatting

When a picture is on the canvas, you can manipulate the image to a different size or orientation. You can make many of these changes directly on the canvas by dragging the different handles on a picture. All of these controls can also be accessed through the menus.

Changing picture size

When you open an image so that it appears on the canvas, it is automatically sized so that it fills the workspace. As a result, a high resolution image, such as 1600 x 1200 pixels, will look as large as a low resolution image that’s only 640 x 480 pixels. For this reason, viewing a picture on the canvas is not a reliable way of judging an image’s resolution.

When you change a picture’s actual size (not just zooming in on the canvas), you change the number of pixels in the image. If you have a high resolution photo that you want to post to a Web site, you might want to make the picture smaller so that it will be transmitted faster over the Internet. In this situation, as long as you won’t need to print the image, you can safely reduce the image size (the number of pixels that make up the image) and still have an image that looks good on the screen.

To resize a picture:

1On the Format menu, click Resize Image.

2Click an orientation.

3Click an image size. To see the size expressed in different units, click a selection on the Units list. If you click Custom, you can enter custom dimensions in the Height and Width boxes.

4Click a resolution, and then click Done.
