I am writing this with a red face knowing my question is absolutely basic, and has been asked millions of times before, but somehow or other everything I read on the subject just seems to complicate things.
What I want: to crop an image and change the resolution to 72 for the web.
Sounds simple, but I can’t do it.
What is the order I should work in?
First crop, then change resolution?
First change resolution, then change image?
I seem to end up with either a much too large or far too small picture. The image that has been driving me mad is 1600 x 1200 pixel, resolution 72. I can resize to 160 X 120 pixels, at res. 72, but that is the whole image I want a detail at 160 X 120.
But how is it done?
Again: I am really sorry to have to ask this again. I tried all afternoon (Europe) and finally decided to post this message before I go mad.
I have been pointed before to Wayne Fulton’s scantips (he argues 72 is nonsense, but my webdesign guru says it does matter, so I’ll stick to it) but it doesn’t seem to get through to what few brains I have left.
Can someone please just tell me what order I should work in?
Thanks!
