How To Resize Image In Photoshop For Optimal Use On The Web




There are two ways this can be done in the Adobe graphics editor, and choosing which process depends on the results you'd like to achieve.
One method simply allows you to adjust the dimensions without greatly affecting the quality, color profile, or information that is associated with every file. 
The other is particularly useful for anyone who is creating content for the internet. In addition to changing the height and width of an image, it will also strip the photo of its metadata and slightly reduce the quality, thereby decreasing the file size and allowing it to load faster in a browser.
Here's how to do both.

How to resize an image in Photoshop 

1. Open the Photoshop app and click on "File" at the top menu bar followed by "Open…" to select your image. If you're using a Mac, you can also drag the image over the Photoshop icon to quickly launch the app with your desired file.
2. Click on "Image" at the top menu bar followed by "Image Size…"

To simply adjust the image size, you can do so from "Image" at the top of the menu bar.

3. A window will pop up where you can adjust the width and height of your image based on either pixels or percent.

If you prefer to scale by percentage, just click the blue box with arrows next to "pixels" and you can select "percent."

4. Click "OK" once you've made your desired adjustments.
5. To save the changes, click on "File" followed by "Save" or "Save As…" The former saves over the original file while the latter allows you to keep both the original and new file.
6. If you clicked "Save As…," a window will pop up for you to select the location that you'd like to store the image. Once you've chosen where the photo will live on your computer, click "Save."

How to Create Realistic Shadows for Product Photography in Photoshop

Image
If you’ve ever used Adobe Photoshop’s built-in Layer Styles tool as-is for creating drop shadows, you may have found it lacking in realism. Here’s a better way to add shadows to your product photography. A lot of the time I use Layer Styles for quick and dirty Photoshop jobs that are more about conveying the sense of depth or texture rather than really making it look lifelike when viewed close up. That’s where  Tony Roslund ’s quick tip comes in (with a hat tip to Aaron Nace from Phlearn). As a professional product photographer, he needs those high-quality shadows for his clients that can usually only be achieved by taking some extra steps. Rather than going to the Layer Styles route, Roslund shows us how to use multiple duplicate layers to build more complex and lifelike shadows. By stacking shadows, his examples also have all the benefits of being independent layers to mask or further refine. Have you tried creating realistic shadows in Photoshop before? Do you use th...
