The next method is to go to the tool panel and take the scale tool.Īnd click on the image. I will take 1920 x 1080 as the scale value for this image and hit on ok button. You can also choose a resolution unit from this list. We, for print, use more pixel/in to preserve image quality and not get pixelate much. We generally use 72 pixels/in for web purpose and 300 pixels/in for the print purpose. We also have a resolution for web and print purpose for our image. You can choose a unit during this process from this option. We will learn some option through which we can have maximum command on not to lose the quality of our image or have less pixelating effect during resizing. When you scale up or scale down any image, it loses some quality due to pixel losses, so the transition between resizing of image is called interpolation. In the introduction part of this article, you heard a new word which was Interpolation. Both have different settings so let us discuss them. We resize image for two purposes: there are two platforms where you will use your resized image the first one is on a web page and the second one is for print purpose. We will also get knowledge about the interpolation word, which is a very important term during resizing of the image. I never would have figured this out on my own.Resize image term can understand by the scaling up or down width and height of an image for a different type of end-use purposes of that image so, in GIMP, we use resize features and tools for resizing of image with a lossless property of image quality. I found bits and pieces of the answer in my pretty extensive searching of the web but not all the steps in one place. I'm restating this so that 1) you folks can correct me if I'm wrong and 2) so that the next poor sap who wants to do this, (I can't be the only one) who uses google to search for an answer, has a better chance of finding it. Add appropriate border (white space) so the other side of the image matches the exact pixel size of the other dimension of the paper size. change the dpi of the image so that at least 1 side of the image matches the exact pixel dimension of the paper size. Calculate the pixel dimensions for the paper size,Ģ. I now have the formula for resizing my pictures to do a "shrink to fit" print out, at least at Snapfish. Thanks so much folks for all your great helpful posts. You seem to be exactly correct in how snapfish behaves based on its "interpretation" of image dimensions. You were correct when I added the border to make the pixel dimensions 1944x2430, Snapfish then interpretted the photo correctly as 8x10. What am I doing wrong? Or is it not possible to resize the photo and retain image quality. See the last attached jpg for the IV stats on the processed picture.

My plan is to have 1.5 inches of whitespace on the long side and to physically trim the print. The stats on the original image are in the 1st attached screenshot jpg.ģ) Image size is 27 x 28.56 (see Picture)Ĥ) I change it to 8 x 8.46 (Irfanview's calculation with preserved aspect ratio) (see Picture)Ħ) Snapfish says image resolution is too low.

The image quality is too low for even a 4圆 print. And playing with irfanview it seems like this should be possible as well. It seems like this is pretty easy to do in Adobe PS from tutorials on the web. I have irfanview, no access to photoshop. The image just doesn't look good cropped. I'd like to do this by having whitespace on one side of the image and physically. For the image I want to print I'd like to resize the entire image to fit to 8x10.

I've been doing some reading on printing digital images to standard photopaper. When I print the image, as is, it get's cropped and doesn't look good. I've got an image that I want to get printed through snapfish on 8x10 paper.
