It appears you're asking how to adjust the image size and resolution display settings within Photoshop, based on the provided reference. Here's how to do that:
The reference provided doesn't deal directly with display settings like interface brightness, grid settings, etc., but it does detail how to adjust image dimensions and resolution, which is crucial to how an image is displayed on screen and for printing.
Adjusting Image Size and Resolution in Photoshop
Here’s a step-by-step guide, incorporating information from the reference:
-
Open Your Image:
- In Photoshop, go to File > Open and select the image you want to work with.
-
Access the Image Size Dialog:
- Navigate to Image > Image Size. This will bring up the "Image Size" dialog box.
-
Understanding the Image Size Dialog:
- The dialog box displays current image dimensions (width and height) and resolution, and the various options that affect them.
-
Changing Resolution Only:
-
To alter only the resolution without changing the image's physical pixel dimensions, uncheck the "Resample Image" box. When you do this, changing the resolution will alter the width and height (in inches or cm) but not change the number of pixels in the image. This maintains image quality. This is the key method described in the reference for controlling how an image displays.
-
For example:
-
If you have an image that is 1000 x 1000 pixels and you change the resolution from 72 pixels per inch to 300 pixels per inch, and you have "Resample Image" unchecked, the image size (in inches) will decrease but the pixel dimensions will stay at 1000 x 1000.
-
If you then check "Resample Image", and make the same resolution change, the size (in inches) will change as before, and the image will also be resampled to a new pixel dimension. You will either be throwing away pixel information or creating new pixel data.

Other Photoshop Display Settings
While the reference focuses specifically on image size and resolution adjustments, here are other display options you may be interested in that will affect how you see Photoshop and your documents:
- Interface Appearance:
- You can change the color theme and brightness of the Photoshop interface by going to Edit > Preferences (or Photoshop > Preferences on macOS) > Interface.
- Rulers and Guides:
- Enable or disable rulers (View > Rulers) and guides (View > Show > Guides), which help with precise alignment and composition.
- Grid Display:
- Toggle the grid overlay on or off (View > Show > Grid), useful for accurate placement of elements.
- Zooming:
- Use the zoom tool (magnifying glass) or the keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl + '+'/'-' or Cmd + '+'/'–') to adjust the zoom level and get different views of your work.
