 Posted: Thu May 13, 2004 10:51 am Post subject: Resizing Images |
 |
|
I am attempting to resize several (a total of 12) larger images to 125 x 125 pixels to use on my web site. While I have figured out how to resize the images, I am not happy with the result. You can see several of the results on my web site at www.dgfish.com. Two of the images are "smashed" (Princeton Tec and C&H Lures), one of them (Checkpoint) is too small. The last image (PowerPro) is just right but unfortunately it is not mine. I "borrowed" it. I prefer not to "borrow" the work of others and want to be able to make the images myself as they will change frequently. Any help would be appreciated.

It would seem that you may be resizing images to dimensions that don't make sense. Unless all the images started out as perfect squares (for instance 800 x 800) you can't resize them to 125 x 125 without messing up the dimensions, and getting smashed looks. Were all the images perfect squares before resizing them? Or were they rectangular (for instance 500 x 300) or something like that. You can resize them to keep the same dimensions in photoshop by clicking the checkbox "Constrain Proportions" in the image size.
Hopefully that will help.

Triumvirate thanks for your response.
The images were of various dimensions. Unfortunately I am trying to have all of the images the same size so I have perfect columns and rows on my web page. I guess an option would be to crop each image so it is a perfect square and then resize it to 125 x 125 pixels. Do you think that would work?
Thanks.

yes it would, however you may cut off some of the image with cropping. You could alternatively try setting your table columns and rows to specific dimensions inside the tags. If you're familiar with html you can probably do this yourself by just setting up something like this
| Code: | ~~~Blah blah, all the beginning html and beginning of table~~~
<td height="125" width="125"><img src="image_name.gif"></td>
<td height="125" width="125"><img src="next_image_name.gif"></td>
~~~end of table and html~~~

Alternatively you could do this in a CSS file assuming your using one and just set up that to be a certain part of the CSS file. If you're unfamiliar with that sort of thing I could give you a quick rundown and try to whip up a little piece of code with how it would work.
