Save your end result by adjusting image size beforehand

Image editing in Photoshop can be performed in a variety of styles. There are many ways of doing so, either by selecting directly with the selection tool or by using a pen tool for exact sized image. But in all the cases, the final output is slightly different from one another. The quality, appearance and the use differs from one another by some or the other way. Even before the editing takes place, the size of the image is required to be scaled. This is because of the variations taking place in the final output and even the effects occurring in the operating speed of the computer. Scaling of the image ensures the maintenance of optimum quality of the image. For any kind of changes, you can simply control its size by going to the image section and selecting image size (images>image size). This is located at the top location of the Photoshop software.

There are three ways to describe an image size:
1. Pixel Dimensions: Size of the file is determined by the pixel number as kilobytes.
2. Print Size: The end result that is the dimensions of the output is expressed in centimeters or inches.
3. Resolution: It is measured by the pixels per inch or ppi.
If any one of them is altered, the impact or affect will be on the other or both, for e.g. raise in the size of the print should be lower than the resolution or rise of the pixel’s dimensions and size of the file.

Change in the images size results due to the following reasons:

1. Change in resolution for matching up with the requirements of the printing output device.

2. Change is dimensions of the printed output for matching display requirements.

Adjustments in the images are extremely important as it affects the final result. You should handle it beforehand to avoid variations in the end result.
