Introduction
Introduction
During the first week of the workshop, I looked at how to change the pixel dimensions of images and discovered the recommended resolution for an image to be uploaded to the internet is 72 pixels. Also I got introduced with the a very helpful tutorial website called; Lynda.com, which I thought was very helpful in the coming weeks when I begin to design my website.
Image Dimension and Resolution
Firstly, I went onto Flickr.com to download some high quality images to use as an example. The site gave me the option to pick a variety of sizes, but I chose to go with the original quality (4107 x 2725).
This is a high quality photo of brown/reddish leaves surrounding the ground with trees and a path in the background.
After selecting my image, I went onto photoshop and opened my image on there.
Above shows the screenshot of the original image size of the screenshot. The pixel dimension is above the recommended size to be uploaded online and also the resolution. Therefore, I am going to use photoshop to lower down the width and height of the image and its resolution.
I decided to adjust the width to 640 pixels as I thought it was a suitable size. After adjusting the width, the height automatically adjusted with the width because I ticked constrain proportion at the bottom options. This enables the the width (640) to be in proportion with the height (425). Also I changed the resolution to 72 pixels.
This is the final result after adjusting the image dimension to 640 x 425 and the resolution to 72. The image is from a original sized viewpoint. The result is not as clear and high quality as the original size but it is the suitable size to be uploaded online.
