How to resize and export Jpegs of the same image


Recommended Posts

Hello, can you help?

I've been searching the tutorials and help for hours and cannot find an answer to this question:

I want to create print ready downloadable art of the same image but in different sizes - how do I do this inside the programme?

In none of the export options does it SEEM to give me the option to customise the size in either inches and cm for the same image in JPEG.  

Am I doing something stupid, not looking in the right place, is there already a tutorial that I've missed?

Thank you in advance for your knowledgeable (and patient) response.

Kelly

N.B. I'm a total beginner.:$

Hi Kelly, if you go to the export persona, You will see a layers tab and a slices tab see image below.

In the drop down, it gives you some examples for what you can type, so if you wanted the image to be 100w it would resize the image to 100 units (units being whatever the document is set to, be that inches, cm, mm, pixels)

You can add "lists" see the image below for export options added and exported results.

  • tomato.jpg is the original size
  • tomato_2.jpg has a width of 100 and the height is scaled accordingly
  • tomato_3.jpg is sized to have a height of 64 pixels
  • tomato_4.jpg is sized height and width to 32 x 32 units
  • tomato@x2 is scaled to twice the size

Though not perfect your best option is the Export Persona here, by setting up two JPG export sizes for the loaded image then. Since the export size settings don't accept cm or inches as input for the size fields here, you either would have to do the conversion math first for the size units (cm to pixel and inches to pixel). See ...

... or use the doc size. Once you have determined the related pixel sizes for the image width and height, you can insert those into the related slices size 1x, 2x text boxes, by double clicking into those boxes and typing or copying in xxxw, xxxh then.

Yes, the Export Persona can do multiple sizes at once, but that would not be helpful in the US where the common photo sizes do not have the same aspect ratio. That means that to get the proper sizes some cropping would also be needed.

Perhaps things are different in countries that use metric measurements.
