Resizing an image can be very important when you are preparing them to be printed, or just need it to be a little bit smaller in order to upload it online or to send to a client. There are a variety of ways to do this in all kinds of different editing programs, however, I believe that using Photoshop to do this is one of the easiest ways.

Using Photoshop is the ideal way to resize images, because it makes it possible to resize an image without messing up the pixels and resolution. This way, the image is the exact same quality, but just smaller. On top of that, there are a variety of ways to change the size of an image that is going to uploaded to a website. You can resize the image itself, or just change the resolution, which will make the size of the image smaller.

The first thing that you are going to do when altering the size of an image, you will need to open that picture in Photoshop and then select Image and then Image Size. A small box will then pop up which will allow you to change some aspects of the picture.

When you simply want to change the resolution, you are going to go to the section that says resolution and then enter the desired value.

If you want to change the image size, you will want to enter new values into the Width and Height boxes. In order to keep the original ratio, be sure you have constrain proportions selected. If you want to adjust the sizes independently, then just deselect constrain and adjust based on your needs.

Along with that, it is important to remember that in order to change the size of the image without altering the number of pixels in the image, you will need to have Resample deselected. Resample will allow the pixels to adjust according to the size you are changing the image to.

Personally, I prefer adjusting the image size and then letting the resolution match up based on the changes I made. However, resizing an image is going to depend entirely on your needs.
