arnold kaufman Posted November 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Is there a formula to do a 1000% crop or is this a simple process in a photo editing program? I am just getting the hang of the M-9 & would like to try this out so if some of my images are worthy of posting I could share.The program I use is PS CS-3. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

tashley Posted November 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2009 Arnold, Forgive me if I am wrong but I think you might be confusing two slightly different things. A 100% crop is generally taken to mean a cropped, small section of an image that has been blown up for screen viewing to 100% (loosely put this means that one pixel of the camera's sensor is shown as one pixel on the computer monitor). To do this in photoshop, select the magnifying glass icon then hit the button that says 'Actual Pixels" then make a crop using the crop tool so that the resulting sub-section of the image fits to about 800 pixels wide. This will then allow you to post a '100% Crop' image to show how sharp your lens is, or to demonstrate some other aspect of the image that is only clearly viewable at high levels of zoom. What I think you think 100% crop means, is 'how do I reduce an image to a size such that I can post 100% of it on a web page'... In which case in Photoshop go to Image>Image Size and set the width to 800 pixels with Bicubic Sharper as the method and ticks next to Resample Image and Constrain Proportions. Make sure you do a Save As with this so that you don't over-write your original file, and choose a different file name for this new smaller file. Here are examples of one image, in the order I described them above: HTH Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat_mcdermott Posted November 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 7, 2009 It seems you might have some confusion here. If you just want to share your photos with the group just resize the whole image so that it fits in the confines of the forum (900px wide, if I remember correctly...) and adjust your jpg settings so that the file size also is within spec. A 100% crop refers to just a section of the whole image that's taken out to demonstrate a specific aspect of the image -- resolution, perhaps some lens artifact -- there's no real way to automate that within Photoshop as the area to be cropped would vary with each image. If you want to post that 100% crop just make sure it fits the specs for the full image and post away. Hope that helps. PS - it seems Tim's a faster typer that I am...

arnold kaufman Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted November 11, 2009 Tim & Mat Thank you I just returned home from a short trip & rec'd your response to my post. You answered my question perfectly especially with the example.I will give it a shot next time I have the occasion to do so. Arnold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
