Blsiegs Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I've read your Selling Digital Images tutorial several times and have a question on resolution. In the quote below (and also shown on one of your video tutorials), you mention about leaving the resolution field blank in the options bar. When I crop to 11:15 in PS, I don't see the resolution field in the options bar. I'm only seeing a place to adjust height and width. After I crop the image, I can go into Image Size and see that it's automatically populated at 300ppi and the actual height and width of the image is around 11x15 depending on how much I cropped out of the image. Is this correct or am I missing something? Based on your tutorials, it looks like I should even need to do anything with image size since I'm effectively doing that through the crop tool. Thank you! "Important note: 11:15 is a shape, not a size. When cropping to 11:15 in Photoshop, do NOT enter a value in the “Resolution” field in the Options Bar. Crop with a Width of 15 inches and a Height of 11 inches (or vice versa) but leave the Resolution blank. This will mean that the remaining pixels don’t get changed in any way."

Damien Symonds Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I don't think you're missing anything, but let's be safe. Can you show me a screenshot of your crop tool settings just before you crop, and also a screenshot of the Image Size dialog that you mentioned, after cropping?

Damien Symonds Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 No, that's not the crop tool, that's the marquee tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blsiegs Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 I was using the marquee tool to select and then going to Image-Crop to crop. These screenshots are using the crop tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
