Nikon Adjusting Image Size and Resolution in Capture NX2

Size / Resolution

Size / Resolution changes the size of your image, with control over either redistributing the image data or interpolating the image data.

Within the “Size / Resolution” dialog, you can choose between one of two resize modes:

Resample Image

The Resample Image option enables you to change the

file to match a specific output size and resolution. Enter the desired Width, Height, and Resolution, or pixel

dimensions, and the image will be interpolated using a bi- cubic interpolation method. Image data is either created or discarded so that the image fits within the newly set parameters.

Don’t Resample Image

The Don’t Resample Image option enables you to redistribute the image information without changing

image data. While in this mode, image detail cannot be either created or discarded. Entering either the new Width or Height or the new Resolution will automatically adjust the other set to match. For example,

changing the height of an 8 inch by 10 inch image at 300 dpi to 4 inches will result in a 4 inch by 5 inch image at 600 dpi.

A Please note: Images cannot be made to have any one side larger than 21600 pixels.

After you have chosen the new size and resolution for your image, click on the Apply button to accept the changes.
