Image size, Dimension, & Resolution in Adobe Photoshop Ep4/33 [Adobe Photoshop for Beginners]

In this video I am going to discuss the difference between ‘Image size’, ‘image Dimensions’ and ‘Resolution’ in Photoshop.

As you begin to create in Photoshop, it is essential you are familiar with the concept Photoshop uses to create images. It’s important early on that you are aware so you can create the right work to the right specification.

This can be a tricky concept to understand at first, but when you do, you will be all the more confident using Photoshop.

Enjoy!

I love how you being so detail, giving shortcut for both mac and windw. I have a window setup, which I find difficult to learn from other videos bc most of them give mac shortcut.

[diegofigueiredo]

Dear Gareth, congrats on the great content you've put together.

[irisheyes]

This is the most comprehensive explanation I've found yet. And you explained it so simply.
😊😊😊 I especially liked how you showed the printed size would be the same. And how you color coded the various measurements.
One question I have left is that programs like Gimp and Photoshop Elements no longer have DPI, but instead have PPI. I've read contradictory info on whether they are the same or different, having read that ppi is for screen and dpi is for print projects. And some say choosing 300 ppi is the same as choosing 300 dpi, while others say one is half of the other.
Since I design for print, it's important for me to get this right.
When I scale my image from 72 ppi to 300 ppi in Gimp the space the image takes up on the screen is smaller. But I don't want a smaller image.
Whereas in Photoshop Elements resizing it makes the image take up a lot more room on the screen, but rescaling it and changing only the ppi the image stays the same size on the screen.
If you have the time and desire to answer these questions I would appreciate it.

I started on photoshop right now, from zero, and i am loving your tutorial, the best.
