Better to resize in PS…. cleaner that Avids scaling algorithim

PS 7 incorrectly distorts a graphic opened with nonsquare pixels and displays it wrong.

All the command does in CS or CS2 is adjust onscreen preview.. pixels are still squished (as they should)

Troy.. you are making too much of this

1. I answered his question first off… with a solution (one that a web or help search would have found). I did nto make fun of him or criticize hsi lack of knowledge. Simply stated the answer in three letters: PNG.

2. I teach college students as well, and have plenty of patience for them. I encourage them how to use the Cow, but also teach them how to use help, search posts, etc.

3. It is PERFECTLY clear that this individual did not use Help, as their are several answers screaming from the Help menus (form Export Transparent Image, to all of the How Tos, to just launching help and typing in JPEG).

4. My comment to you was not critizing you. Your information was accurate, but I was trying to point out, that typing such a througough answer only further disables someone who seems unable to perform even a basic search,

5. When a user joins, there is infor about Creative Calf and what the Cow is for (a detailed description of what more signal less noise means)

6. I do not laud my ‘books’ over people…. I write them to help people. But I am disspointed in how lazy many people are in typing questions to forums that could be found in less than 15 seconds on their own computer.

7. As a forum host, I am supposed to keep the forum on topic and make sure that the level of professionalism is maintained. By professionalism I mean the level of user experience. The Calf exists for just this sort of questions, as does online help.
Usually I avoid responding to these sorts of questions, perhaps I shoudl have done so here as well.

Again, not trying to isnult you or anything else.. just trying to get this individual to learn how to fend for themselves. I complemeneted your kindness, made a request with the word please, and explained my reasons.

You are free to disagree with me… but I’m just doing my job

Thanks

Do not encourage them…

There is Creative Calf for a reason… this is a pros forum

If he can’t tell the difference between a JPEG, GIF, or PNG or is not even able to launch the help menu (Which includes the Export Transparent Image wizard)… then he needs to go back and read a little.

Giving such detailed answers to basic questions only reinforces that people shouldn’t bother to hit the help key and read.

The forum says “more signal, less noise” for a reason.

Your answer is totally correct, and you are a kind person… just don’t encourage such laziness on this forum please.

Ummm two things

1. Go to the correct forum and post a question.. the Photoshop forum where you don’t even bother to name the program you arfe using is just dumb.
2. By the nature of your last two questions.. you are in over your head… go back to start and learn how to use your tools.

Find a Real Tiger and take a picture of his fur (or do an extensive search for a high-res image from stock photo site.)

Then use either pattern make… or the Offset Filter and Clone/Helaing to remoe seams

Yes… if you have teh correct fonts loaded and the ones you’ve chosen support that character set…

I’d be sure to get a hard copy from the translator so you can compare

There is NO SUCH THING as DPI in Screen graphics

Your image is 1920 X 1080 pixels total

DPI is meaningless…

When scanning, set your scanner to measure in pixels… you can scan more tehn you need, then downsample if you want flexibility to crop or pan and scan

Suggest picking up PS for Nonlinear Editors or the DVD series I did.. as well as vising Photoshopforvideo.com
