So today I got photoshop 7.
Im trying to make an icon, but because i havent got the knowledge of how to use photoshop i dont know how to resize the image, so then i can make it into a icon. Icons should be 100x100pxls but my image is wayyyy bigger. Anyone help please? All replies are appreciated greatly. :) JJB x |

What I do is first edit the image to how I want it to look like & then I crop it (press "c" on your keyboard to get the Crop Tool) while holding down shift so it gets cropped as an even square. Then I go Image>Image Size & resize it to 100x100.

Then I go Image>Image Size & resize it to 100x100. That is the best way to do it. This allows you to choose what you really want to be in the icon instead of the whole picture- which can possibly lead to you not being able to make out your subject in the icon. http://www.createblog.com/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=377 Read that. I have a whole tutorial series on Iconing & Icon Coloring. :D |
