Sommer sweeney Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Well anyways....... once I figure out the proper number how do I go about sending her the images she wants? Can you give me a general idea of what I need to do to deliver them properly. Maybe I won't have to bother you again about it. I appreciate all of your help so far.

Damien Symonds Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 What do you need to know, exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommer sweeney Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 If it is 1200 for the pixel dimensions like you said, how do I treat the image in photoshop? If I've finished my edit and I am ready to save it what are my sharpening and saving requirements for this? Do I size the image using W, H, RES.? Do I sharpen USM OR no? Do I open the image size box and enter pixel settings there or somewhere else? Do I save as a jpeg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Are your photos all landscape, or all portrait, or a mixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommer sweeney Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 They are a mixture but a total of 5 files. 1 portrait and 4 landscape images. I can just send each of them in 400px and 1200px just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sommer sweeney Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Damien, you never answered me on how to sharpen them? Im not sure with them being for the website. USM or no? Plus when sizing them in pixels dimensions do I do it at the top bar during the crop stage? Should I use your guidelines for sharpening for web? or Best practices for web photos ?

Yes, if that suits you. There are two ways you can do it: Crop with nothing in the options bar, then use the Image Size function after that (with "Resample Image" checked) to resize them; or Crop with the "px" values in the options bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommer sweeney Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Damien, I forgot to ask, Is there a reason why we do not sharpen the images that I am sending to the magazine editor? I am just curious why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Of course not. They'll be ok, just not quite as good as they can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommer sweeney Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Damien I cannot afford for these to just be ok, this is a super important job.

Sommer sweeney Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 I found the email. I emailed you. I will say I was able to tell the difference between the 3 print PSA but I had a hard time deciding between 300 and 400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
