  • Need help in PS with default resolution

    I'm currently running PS 7.01, but in the past I recall there was a way to set the default pixel size when you opening up an image.

    i.e. width=11.267 height=16.933 resolution=240


    I faintly remember that you could change the default to open the image instead to whatever you set it at as far as resolution is concerned like instead of the above setting it would open up as:

    width=9.013 height=13.547 resolution=300



    does anybody remember how to set this up for a default?


    Thanks. I should have written this stuff down I guess.....

    Hi Jon,

    I have to admit, I am confused. If two versions of an image are exactly the same file size (let's say 3mb). One is bigger with a smaller dpi, the other is smaller with a higher dpi, it is the same pixels - just spread over more area or condensed into a smaller area. Both images will be the same size on the computer monitor at 100% because each file's pixel maps to each of the monitor's pixels, same number of pixels = same file size.

    When you open an image it will open with the dimensions and the dpi of whatever it was last saved as.

    We would be glad to help more if we can, Roger

      I know what you mean and I dont know how to set it. Mine tends to open at 180 instead of 72 for my digital camera photos. You can set individually when you open with the new file command

        24x36 Printout
        by extrememc
        I am trying to crop a image shot with my Rebel XT to 24x36. When I open the image in Bridge the resolution is 240. I change it to 300 then open in CS2. When I make my crop there it change the resolution to 150 sometime less then that. How can I create a high res file that is 24x36 for printing on matte...

        Image size - lack of understanding
        by Ambrosie
        I have been an infrequent user of Photoshop 3 for over 10 years. From time to time I become aware that I have never fully understood some of the basics. One of these appears to be the matter of image size (height and width).

        To do the simple jobs I generally use Photshop for, I don't...

        size and resolution
        by vickatter
        Hi!

        First Question:
        I'm a little mixed up with the way I can increase a file size.
        I had to do a few posters yesterday and I needed a final file of 70x100cm in 200dpi. The thing is that the pictures that I was using were a little smaller than that, so somebody at the studio...

        The 72 dpi myth
        by Oceanwatcher
        Is it just me, or are others too frustrated over even high profile documentation stating that monitors have a dpi of 72?

        Monitors do not have any dpi at all. And they do not need it. All they need is a resolution.

        Also, dpi does not have anything to say for the filesize....

        File size/resolution
        by Ed_L
        I keep seeing posts where people talk about file sizes, and they mention saving the image at 72 ppi. I have always thought that the file size was determined by the number of pixels in the image, and had nothing to do with the resolution. Am I missing something? Since this came up before (but never agreed...
