Under image on the menu choose image size and select the size you want. going smaller is great going larger will cause pixilation.
Are you using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements? If PSE I can probably help.
When you click new you’re basically creating a new canvas. Click on open..that will give you the option to select a picture from your computer
How To Reduce Image Size without Losing Image Quality in Photoshop

Very easy to do in Irfanview under Image/resize/resample
With the image open in PS, choose Image > Image size (or shortcut Shift + Ctrl + I) then set your desired witdth & height in inches, and change your resolution to something higher, like no less than 300 but no more than 600 pixels/inch
Then you’ll need to find “re-size” option...mine is under image on elements 12
Did you figure it out? If not, upload the original to IMGUR or another photo-sharing site and post it here. I’ll fix it for you and post it back.
When you click “new” you’re creating a new, blank document. There is no need to do this. Just go and change the image size to 300 dpi at the dimension required and save it under a different file name.
Hello Everyone, you are all so awesome! I am still struggling, if someone wants to do it for me, I would be forever grateful. :) Just post and I will PM you the photo, and I will owe you one. I am a registered dietitian, so I can help you out with anything you might need in that arena.
Do you have the original?
Going from 300 to 72 is ok. The other way, not so much. If you drop the picture 50 in size, the best resolution you are going to get is 150dpi. The difference means that the computer is going to “guess” what pixels come in between.
Sure, it’s small, but it’s going to look “mushy.”
