Re: Resolution or ratio set first?

Hello Jim,

Are you familiar with the computer program "Thumbs Plus Pro". This program
allows for resize (resolution or sizes). It will also allow for triming to
ratio, the 16:9 ratio my digital frame uses.

So you are saying:

1. Set the resolution to 900x500 first.
2. Then do the trim to fit?

Thanks
No, Wes, I know nothing of Thumbs Plus Pro. I gave an answer which fits
Photoshop.
I also interpreted 900x500 to be the dimensions of the image in pixels.
That is, it is 900 pixels wide by 500 pixels tall.
That is a very small image by the way.
By resolution, I mean the pixels per inch for the printer.
Perhaps what you are doing is creating a thumbnail because at the usual
setting for a print of no more than 300 pixels per inch, the
printed output would be 3 inches wide by 1.67 inches tall (i. e. rather
tiny).
In any case, what you need to do is to resize the image such that you can
crop to a 16:9 format. You may or may not need to interpolate.

Good day,

I hope this question makes sense....

I have digital picture frame. The resolution is 900x500. After reading a
lot of comments by other people concerning this frame on www.buy.com it
turns out that the picture ratio is 16:9 (HDTV).

Here is my question: Should I set the resolution first or the ratio? Or
does it even make a difference? I do take some pictures in raw format
and the pictures can be 6meg or so.

I want to thank you ahead of time for helping,

Wes
You first enable the Rulers.
Then you enable "fit on screen"
Next you set the resolution.
Finally, you enable "Maintain Aspect Ratio", execute.

If the resulting image would be too small, you then set the desired
resolution, enable resize, and select the interpolation method.

If the resulting image is too large in one direction or the other, then
you must crop to fit the frame.
You will need to crop unless your camera takes the shot in 16:9 format.

Jim
