  PS comp size for 16:9 (widescreen) square pixels

  Posted by Cathy Ralph on June 3, 2007 at 11:17 am

  Hello-

  I posted this question in the Basic forum, but maybe it belongs here instead.

  I’m working on an animation and I’ve been searching on line and have seen a lot of different answers to this question. What pixel size (X x Y) do I need to create a standard definition (not high definition) square pixle aspect ratio, NTSC widescreen 16:9 composition in PhotoShop?

  It will be later imported to AE and Premiere for post work and then out to DVD. I intend to keep it square pixles all the way – no messing with pixel aspect ratios.

  So far I’ve seen 853 x 480, 860 x 480, 864 x 480 … very confusing!

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me,
  -Cathy

  Nevermind – I figured it out by myself – I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before. I opened a new comp in PS 16 wide by 9 pixels tall and then I went into image size and plugged 480 into the width with the proprtion link on … the answer is 853 x 480! Hip Hip Hurray!!!!
