Digital cameras offer the user several choices when it comes to image size. Most manufactured digital cameras today have a maximum and minimum image size or resolution number depending on the digital camera. Changing the image size and resolution greatly affects the size and quality of the digital image.
Instructions
1. Read over the digital camera manual for information regarding that specific camera's minimum and maximum digital image file size and resolution. Most cameras are pre-set at the highest resolution the camera offers.
2. Toggle through the digital camera's menu screen until the image resolution feature appears. Choose the image size that produces the results desired. Higher resolution images contain more clarity and are larger in file size than lower image size images.
3. Reduce the image size using the in-camera software features. Many cameras can reduce image file size directly on the camera without having to export the digital image to a digital imaging software application.
4. Bring the image into a digital imaging software program, such as Adobe Photoshop. This programs allows the user to manipulate many aspects of the image, including image size.
5. Choose a digital camera that offers the most image resolution options. The higher the megapixel count on a digital camera, the more resolution options are available. Setting the image size from a higher resolution to a smaller one will reduce the overall image size.
