Photoshop can be much more program that you need to resize an image, it is an important function to learn because it is a common technique in the development of digital media. Why would you resize an image in the first place? There are many reasons, but the most common is to make photos fit on web pages or printing equipment.

OK, as for the actual steps to resize an image here they are:

1. Open Adobe Photoshop and the photo you want to resize.

2. Once you have your photo open navigate your mouse to the toolbar along the top of the screen and click on "Image".

3. Once you click on "Image" from the toolbar, a menu drop-down will appear. Select "Image size" of the menu drop down. A window should popup with the properties of images.

4 Originally, for our intents and purposes, we only pay ionattempts to"Pixel Dimensions" in the popup window. You will see that you can control the values of width and height of the image in the popup window. You should also see a drop-down menu selection of "pixels" or "%". Make sure that the pixel is the unit selected in the fields of the width and height. Pixels are small dots of color that make up the photo. If you never look printed under a magnifying glass, you will notice that the image is composed of small dots of colour. These small dots of color are similar to the what are the pixels in a digital image.

5 Okay. Imagine that the image that opens at the beginning of this tutorial is very large, something like the width in pixels, 2000 by 1500 pixels in height and we want to resize the image to fit on a web page. Most of the web pages which are about 800 pixels wide by some arbitrary height. The reason for which the height is arbitrary is because it is determined by how many conattempts appears on the page. Let's say that we want the image to take approximately half of the width of the web page. To do this we would change the value of the width of the pixel in 2000 to 400 pixels (which is half of the 800 pixels, the width of the web page). Make sure that the option "Option constrain Proportions" is checked so that the ratio between the width and the height is preserved and the image does not deform.

6. Click "OK" and save the newly resized your image version. YOU'RE DONE!

You resized just your first photo using Photoshop and are now 100 times more advanced. Congratulations, you're on your way to become a master of Photoshop.
