Question

Photoshop's image menu has options for checking an image's size, resolution and number of pixels. If you have an image that is 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches high at 72 ppi and you want to find out the optimum size for that image at 150 ppi, do you resample or not resample the image?

1) Do not resample
2) Resample

Answer 1

To determine if you need to resample the image, convert the size of the image at 72 ppi to pixels and calculate the size at 150 ppi.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the optimum size for the image at 150 ppi, you need to calculate the number of pixels. First, convert the width and height of the image from inches to pixels at 72 ppi. Then, calculate the number of pixels at 150 ppi. If the number of pixels increases after the calculation, you need to resample the image. If the number of pixels remains the same, you do not need to resample the image.
