TIP OF THE WEEK: How to reduce or enlarge a Photoshop file

Below I show the steps of my job; to prepare my illustration at a 300 dpi resolution, 7 inches wide for Adobe InDesign. Go to MENU > IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE:

reduceImage

In my example I use 7 inches Width, because I will place this image in my InDesign document with this size. In your case, you simply use your desired Width (or Height) and place it into your InDesign document at a 100%. With this method you will retain the 300 dpi resolution for the professional printing press.

TIPP DER WOCHE: Wie man ein Bild in Photoshop vergrössert oder verkleinert.

Unten zeige ich die Arbeitsschritte; wie ich meine Illustration auf 300 dpi ändere und als 15 cm breites Bild für Adobe InDesign vorbereite. Gehen Sie zu MENÜ > BILD > BILDGRÖSSE:

reduceImageD

In meinem Beispiel benutze ich 15 cm Breite, weil ich dieses Bild mit diesen Massen in meinem InDesign Dokument benötige. Benutzen Sie in Ihrem Fall Ihre gewünschten Masse und platzieren Sie es zu 100% Grösse in Ihr InDesign Dokument. Mit dieser Methode werden Sie die 300 dpi für die professionelle Offset-Druckmaschine beibehalten.

TIP OF THE WEEK: how I retouch my illustrations using the Stamp Tool and Healing Brush Tool in Photoshop CC or CS6. I place on an empty layer on top – while I select the option ALL LAYERS in the Control Bar – then I click the ALT key to sample and start stamping. 😉

TIPP DER WOCHE: Wie ich meine Illustrationen retuschiere mit dem Stempel Werkzeug oder dem Reparaturpinsel ist einfach. Ich benutze eine leere Ebene die ich ganz oben einfüge. Dann drücke ich die ALT Taste um einen sauberen Bereich aufzunehmen – mit der Option ALLE EBENEN aufnehmen in der Steuerung – und stemple vor mich hin. 😉
