Reducing an image
Reducing an image
(OP)
I know this is very basic stuff, but I need the image at the following URL reduced to 80 x 79 px: http://www .handscomb es.com/ima ges/jasc_i mages/poun d_logo.gif
When I do it via Image => Resize... it is distorted (not pixelated). Can anyone help, please?
Thanks,
HB19.

RE: Reducing an image
Can you explain a bit more what it is that happens to the image?
But for starters I would make sure that when you resize you have the new dimensions set in pixels as opposed to percentages.
Also what version of Paint Shop Pro are you using?

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

I haven't been able to make the resize feature work properly on this image yet, but I'm working on it. It's still distorted. You can see it here: htt
I'm stopping work for the night now, but I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow...
BTW, I'm still using Version 7.04.
Thanks,

Good luck,

vacunita, thanks. That's not at all bad, and it works as a transparent gif on my new #C5C5D6 background.
lhuegele, you lose the correct shape (dimensions) of the image in that case. Are you sure that's a good idea?
RE: Reducing an image
If you have an image that's 100 pixels wide by 100 pixels high, the aspect ratio is 1:1 (or 1 as expressed in PSP). Your original image is 105x104 which is an aspect ratio of 1.0096 and your new size of 80x79 is actually an aspect ratio of 1.01265. This creates the distortion, not to mention the fact that your original file is only ~72dpi.
Personally, I work with master files that are HUGE, at least 1500 pixels wide. When I resize those down to what I need for web publishing (which is usually ~200-500 wide) I get little if any distortion with my resultant file.
While your bitmap trick does create less distortion, there is still pixelation of your resultant file, especially around the text parts.
Good luck,

I have been trying to do it using Colours > Adjust > Hue Map, and I can certainly make the kind of change I need, but I'll only get there by trial and error. I want to just paste in #C5C5D6 and get the correct colour. Is there a way of doing this?
I've also tried using the Red/Green/Blue command, but the Help Menu says "To use the Red/Green/Blue command on a selection, the image must be a 24-bit colour image. This is not an option on Colours > Decrease or Increase Colour Depth. So I'm a bit lost... :(
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John.

Indeed I have! I've just learned to use the "colour replacer" tool properly today, and I've got a result. It worked: http:/
Thanks for confirming that that was the way to go. I appreciate your help. :)

John.
