- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I thought I had this figured out, now I'm ultra-frustrated.
It is my understanding that web images should be around 500-800 pixels in width and have a resolution of 72 ppi.
Yes? No?
Here's my problem: I have images saved as JPEGs in Lightroom (which were processed from RAW images). If I open up an image to edit in CS4, here are the stats from the Image Size window:
Pixel Dimensions: 18.0M
Width: 2098 pixels
Height: 1499 pixels
Document Size:
Width: 8.742 inches
Height: 6.246 inches
Resolution: 240 pixels/inch
So, this is too large to post on the web and requires resizing.
When I change the resolution to 72 pixels/inch, this changes my width to 629 pixels and my height to 450 pixels.
So, I click OK and the image looks horribly jagged.
I'm at a loss as to why this is. Could it be that, as a JPEG, I've opened and re-opened it too many times (although I don't think this is the case)?
Does it have anything to do with 16 bit vs. 8 bit? I'm certain that I saved it as 8 bit, but now, when I re-open and click Image>Mode, 16 bit is checked.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
