Preparing a file for print in a magazine will most likely require you to provide a AdobeRGB or aRGB file since the image will be converted and processed as CMYK in the end. There are a few peculiarities in the specs you have posted.ġ400x1400 pixel is 1400x1400 pixels at any resolution, the resolution is irrelevant if you specify pixels x pixels. It's bed time for me but tomorrow, I will try what you advise. However, if the magazine wants RGB then that is the best format. RGB is better than sRGB but sRGB is more universal for web sharing. Someone else may be able to shed light on this for you. I don't know why they are limiting file size to 25 mb when by math you cannot get that far with such a small picture.
#Convert picture size to 1400x1400 how to#
I don't know how to do the math at the moment but try cropping as I mentioned and see what the image file size will become at 300 dpi.įile size on the computer is 655 KB. I am sure a 1400 x 1400 image of 300 dpi resolution would satisfy the file size requirement. What you should do is to downsize after all the post processing is done to something that is at least 1400 pixels to whatever the other dimension turns out to become and then crop the image to the 1400 x 1400 dimensions. If you unlock the two dimensions from each other your photo will look very bad. I look forward to seeing how others would do this. Then go to File|Save for Web and Devices (be sure 2 up tab shows) set quality until your size is under 25mg. Then go to Image Size and set the size and resolution. Is your photo square currently? If not, you need to crop it square as the first step. This is what I would do, but I am quite self-taught. You have the power to delete your duplicate post. Lastly, the image says RGB in the upper screen heading.is this always the best color space to work in? How can I change each dimension independently?Īlso, how can I make sure that the image stays under the 25mb limit? I have some questions.as I change the pixels to 1400 in the width, the height changes on it's own.I have all 3 boxes checked. I need to size an image for a friend who is using it for printing purposes in a magazine.
