You can measure image size in Photoshop by accessing the Image Size dialog box.
Steps to Check Image Size
Here's how to find the image size in Photoshop:
- Open your image in Photoshop.
- Go to the "Image" menu at the top of the screen.
- Select "Image Size..." A dialog box will appear.
Understanding the Image Size Dialog Box
The "Image Size" dialog box displays several important values related to your image's size:
- Dimensions: Shows the width and height of the image in pixels (px). This is the actual size of the image as it will appear on a screen.
- Resolution: Indicates the number of pixels per inch (ppi). This affects the print quality of the image.
- Image Size (File Size): Located at the top, it displays the amount of storage space the image occupies, usually in megabytes (MB). This is the size of the file saved on your computer. This value reflects the amount of memory the image is using.
Key Takeaways
- The dimensions tell you how many pixels wide and tall your image is.
- The resolution affects the print quality. Higher resolution means better print quality but a larger file size.
- The image size (file size) is how much space the image takes up on your hard drive.
By using the "Image Size" dialog box, you can easily view and adjust the dimensions, resolution, and file size of your image in Photoshop.
