How to Change Resolution in Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop is a tool for not only doing minor alterations to an image but it is also an application for enhancing your image’s resolution. You will find it easier and more efficient to change the resolution in Photoshop than in other applications.
How to Change Resolution in Photoshop
The contrast between a high-resolution photograph with an engaging subject and decent composition and a tiny, blurry one is remarkable. Learning the difference between a high or low-resolution image will matter in the grand scheme of presenting it to your audience.

Step 1: Open an Image in Photoshop
Once you powered up Adobe Photoshop, click “File” and then “Open” where you can select the image you want the resolution to be changed. Once a window opens up, that is where you can then peruse through your various files and click on your chosen image. Alternatively, you can drag your file to the center of the software to load the image.

Step 2: Change Image Size
After you have opened your chosen image, it will then be displayed on Adobe Photoshop. Go to the menu at the top and click on “Image” then “Image Size”. A panel will appear for you to edit the width, height, and resolution of the image. The other dimension will automatically adapt to keep the same aspect ratio. Deselect the “Constrain Proportions” checkbox if you don’t want this to happen.

Step 3: Select a Resampler Setting
Resampling is the process of resizing an image while keeping the same number of pixels. The “Bicubic Sharper” option is great for making pictures smaller, while the “Bicubic Smoother” option is best for making images larger. If you are only seeking to modify the picture size for printing reasons, uncheck the “Resample Image” item. Increasing the size of photographs with features enabled will result in a decrease in image quality. Click on “OK” once you are done.
FAQs
