ADOBE PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL FOR RESIZING LARGE IMAGES
Adobe Photoshop is not for the weak at heart, but for those who are
determined to grasp the basic concepts of it, this tutorial is for you.
Work along with me to get a better 'feel' for what's involved.
The image we'll be working on is
called "Jesse.jpg".
For the sake of this tutorial, make a new folder on your desktop, call it
tutorial. Copy this photo into your tutorial
folder.
PC Right mouse click on photo, go to SAVE IMAGE AS,
and save it into your tutorial folder.
Mac Mouse click on photo, go to SAVE THIS IMAGE AS,
and save it into your tutorial folder.
We will be reducing the image size (called optimizing) to prepare it for
emailing or for placing on a web site. In both instances, small file sizes
are important (especially when emailing so your friends and family don't see
just "canine nostrils" on their computer monitors). I am using Adobe
Photoshop 7 but this tutorial should work with earlier versions.
Once you have the Jesse.jpg firmly leashed inside your tutorial folder on your
desktop, go to the next page and learn how to reduce
this image.
