  • Change Canvas size without losing quality?

    Posted by Thomas Reimer on November 16, 2016 at 8:19 pm

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to create a facebook cover photo (815×315 px – 72resolution ) from a poster I created (3300x5100px – 300resolution). Ive tried changing the canvas size to match the cover photo, tried resizing the image etc but each time the text, images, etc get super grainy when I downscale them. Any way I can downscale everything without losing quality? I just dont want to have to RECREATE the whole image just in different dimensions.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Thomas

    Can you give exact steps to reproduce this? Please include file details -size, color profiles, color mode, and can you include the original image at all? Can’t reproduce what you are seeing with the steps given.

    One thing: when you go from 3300 pixels to 315, you will lose image quality because you are reducing it to less than a tenth of its original size and you are changing to less resolution by going from 300 dpi to 72.

    Save early. Save often.
