Hi Folks,
I've been lurking around here for a few days and I have to say, "I'm impressed with all the bright / talented people on this site".
I have a favorite image of my wife that was taken in 640x480 @ 72ppi. Being a newbie at retouching and trying to figure out what all the tools do in PS-5.5 ... I have found it difficult to work on this image at this resolution. (i.e. selection tools) Suddenly, I had what is probably a "brain fart".
I took the original image/ opened the image size dialog box/ changed the reolution to 180ppi/ checked-constrain proportions/ checked-resample image "bicubic"...
End result: 1600x1200 @ 180ppi., which seems to allow more accuracy using selection tools.
Have I done wrong? Pros/Cons?
thx
Alan
