But you won't need to downsample an image for print. Downsampling is used when you're reducing the size of an image, whether it's for email, for uploading to the web, or for general screen viewing. Adding more pixels is known as upsampling, and throwing pixels away is called downsampling. Resampling means that we're changing the number of pixels. I covered image size and resolution in the first tutorial in this series, but we'll look at it again in a moment. We control the print size not by changing the number of pixels but by changing the image resolution. All we're doing is changing the size that the image will print. Resizing means that we're not changing the number of pixels in the image.

Resizing vs resampling an imageīefore we look at how to resize the image for print, we first need to know the important difference between resizing an image and resampling it.

Also, if you want to fit your image to a frame size that doesn't match the aspect ratio of the photo, you'll first need to crop the image before resizing it. If you do need to print the image at a larger size, then you'll need to enlarge it by adding more pixels. I'll cover what resolution is, and how much of it you need for high quality prints, in this tutorial. And as we'll see, we change the print size just by changing the photo's resolution. So rather than changing the number of pixels, all we need to do is change the print size. Most of today's digital cameras capture images that are already large enough to print at standard frame sizes, like 8 x 10 or 11 x 14, and get great results. That's because there's often no need to change the number of pixels in the image.
