cathullyett Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Do you have any resources on reducing file size? I've got a portrait photo I need to reduce to passport size, and by using the Image size tool it still looks like rubbish when shrunk down.. Is there a way to keep quality when making photos that small? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Oh, this is a great question. What exact specifications have you been given for the image? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Great! And anything about "distance from tip of head to top of image" or anything like that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathullyett Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 No (it’s not for a passport, just needs to be similar) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Great! So just do exactly what it says. Choose your Crop Tool, enter 40 and 50mm in the Width and Height fields, and 200 in the Resolution field, and crop, then sharpen. That's all there is to it. Make sure, when viewing it after the crop, you don't zoom further in than 100%. It sounds like you must have been doing so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
