[@rennyblack9933]

Please keep being longwinded in exactly the way you're doing this. There's a HUGE difference between teaching and merely demonstrating. You're doing both, and because you take the time to thoughtfully explain the logic behind the different features of this software, you're helping viewers develop an intuitive understanding about how to best use it. Thank you!

[@Sayviolet]

As many people, I’m not a beginner , really, and I found this video extremely clarifying! Your in depth videos are so very helpful! Thank you for your time and devotion!!

[@ncraspa]

I am not a beginner either and I am very grateful for this. Have been confused about this for years and your explanation is excellent. I finally understand. Can't wait for follow up. Thank you very much Colin.

[@garyrogs50]

Collin: As a high school teacher of Photoshop, I find that your explanations offer great supplemental information to my in class lessons and I utilize many of them (and will use this one as well)

[@richardstalter5461]

Thank you, Colin. I'm not a beginner so I understood the basics; however, what finally sunk in after watching this was how to sync up the native screen display resolution and the display showing percentage to show the actual physical picture size on the screen....that could be measured with a ruler. For me, that has always been a swag deal previously. All I can say is DUH. My forehead is a little flatter now that I've smacked myself with the palm of my hand again. These beginner vids can always teach/re-teach one something. That's why I still watch them.

[@marcvanpoecke5797]

I'm not a beginner but find this very interesting. because we have this conversation with many starters, so thanks for this!

[@shewhoflies4693]

The video was perfect. The length was perfect. Fast tutorials confuse me because so much is left out. I end up watching several of them to try and understand the main concept all because the tutors seem to be on a time restraint . More of these please..

[@sallyjberry805]

I have been trying to wrap my brain around photoshop for about 2 years. It such a learning curve. Knowing "why" something works the way it does helps imprint in my mind. The basics are great - I feel most educators start too advanced. I like to print so how ppi/inches translates on my screen is very beneficial before moving onto dpt/print. Thank you!

[@allisonarmstrong9111]

I am not a beginner yet this explanation is very, very helpful. I have watched many Photoshop tutorials and they tell you what resampling DOES, but they never tell you WHY one would want to use resample and why one shouldn't. I turned off resampling today and now my whole world of sizing photographs makes sense! Thank you for putting it in plain English that pixel size IS the true size. As far as feedback on the video length, you could separate the monitor resolution section from the image pixel size section to make the video more succinct if you want to improve it but the video is okay as is.

[@chanoc455]

I've worked as a production artist "producing mechanicals" in design agencies and they never explain to you regarding "Resolutions" (and they don't have to) but it was a term that I've never heard anybody explain it as clear as you do. So thank you very much for your explanation. 👍

[@paullivingston1009]

This ain't just for beginners! I've been in graphics & print for many years and was still confused....until now! Thanks Colin!

[@azcanuck764]

Hi Colin, I've been doing design for many years & wish I would have seen this awesome video a long time ago! Being self-taught, I just stumbled through & tried to make sense out of it all. I design some very large murals & figured out a trick that seems to work to make a large graphic a smaller file. I design in actual physical size (or 50%) with high DPI & then after I'm finished making changes & before I send it out to be printed, I lower the resolution (with resample on), to 50 or 75 DPI. I know that if I made any changes after that, it would look pretty rough, but I make sure I'm done. Looking forward to Part 2!

[@waynemacleod5648]

I've been working with PS as a serious hobby since I retired 3 years ago so my understanding of this topic has been "evolving." Your explanation is welcome and helpful at making the subject "instinctive" for me. The technical depth is perfect since I want a clear understanding. Days of the week are meaningless when one is retired, especially in this locked down world so anything works for releases. Thanks ever so much for all your help.

[@fayescott9758]

Thank you! I’m a beginner. I have searched some many videos and articles to for help. Just this video alone has given me the fundamental knowledge of when my files and images are looking whack. Thank you, again!

[@photoshopcafe]

You're welcome

[@waynemacleod5648]

Another excellent video - thank you! I have watched this multiple times over that past couple of year's to keep refreshing my understanding.

[@michaellucks1642]

Yes, clarity helps. And refreshers help. Thanks. I’ve created some fairly sophisticated output over the years, but still consider myself a beginner because of lack of continuity and immersion. (I even leave notes in the files to remember how I achieved an effect. Smart Objects for example). So I’m going back to basics, and building up. This, and your tutorials on layers, and masks, and adjustments, well, all of the basics… super helpful. Thanks again.

[@Connor_Dempsey]

I'm not a beginner either and found this to be extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@trondcarlsen1157]

Great video. Just startet with photoshop and your tutorials are the best I found up to now. A couple of questions: - What DPI do you recomend as a minimum on photos for prints? - What PPI do you recomend as a minimum on photos for a webpage?

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks! 1. 300ppi 2. 72ppi

[@warrengibby9172]

I have worked in print for over 30 years and find this video interesting. looking forward to your future videos.

[@Majidkhanbh]

EXPLAINED VERY WELL THANK YOU SIR

[@owatagi]

Extremely useful. Very informative. I’ll hav to watch it a couple of times, but it’s worth it.

[@peterdowse5816]

Wow, I am watching this in 2023 and for the first time, in many years, I have a far better understanding image resolution. Thank you.

[@Scoo59]

This video was easy to follow. I am not savvy in photo-editing. Colin makes it so easy to understand.Comprehensive for me. I think the pace suits me fine. Thanks!

[@stephencahill6541]

Great Tutorial Colin! I've been working with Photoshop for over a decade, but all the facets of this basic have always been some of the hardest to grasp (even now I'm going to re-watch video. For me it doesn't matter what day of the week videos are released, always time poor, so I don't get to them straight away - but I do get to them! Thanks all your time & effort!!

[@chrisharper6427]

Very useful - you explained it well - You are beginning to lift the veil and revealing understanding for me. ! - Now ready for Part 2.

[@annextesfaye7088]

I really really thank you. I was given up on photoshop for a while until I found this channel. Very easy to understand. Thank You!!

[@memlay465]

Again, excellent presentation. The length was good.

[@paulaseiwert9421]

Made sense. Can I repeat it....probably not, but I know where to come back to when I have myself confused. Keep up the beginner videos!

[@spid7223]

This is one of the thing that i struggle with and can never find the right answers. I have been asked for prints of my work and sometimes they fit when i uploaded them and some they don't, so i tend not to sell many I can never work out what size they have to be for printing, i.e. i shoot with a 4 by 3 crop upload and edit them but when i go to upload them they don,t fit in an A4 size or the size i need. This is at last making me start to understand the resizing a bit more, so glad you said it is part one.

[@dianewilson800]

thankyou thankyou! Have been trying to find an explanation of this for ages. Completely clear!

[@cliffmalcolm4243]

Thanks Colin, very helpful and not too long, just very complete!

[@catherineschuessler9916]

Thank you very much Colin! I really appreciate that your videos for beginners are truly worded and paced for beginners. I am finally able to truly understand some basics in Photoshop. Your videos are helping me to find the tools, understand how to use them and you are easy to listen to. Thank you, thank you, thank you. LOL, I do not have to rewind the videos as frequently due to the slower pace for us beginners!

[@MrRudyc]

This is very on target! I have been with PS for years and still never really understood this subject. I do my own printing and you cleared the air. Fantastic video, and thanks for all your work on these.

[@merrillsmith9018]

Hi, Colin, I am a beginner and look forward to all your beginner tutorials there are no videos on the internet that explain photoshop as well as you do without going over my head I am computer savvy but I find photoshop the most difficult to master, but the way you explain it makes it a lot easier to understand so thanks I found this very helpful.

[@photoshopcafe]

Awesome, thank you!

[@anurag1199]

I am a beginner . plz keep making photoshop tutorials. It really helps a lot. Thanks!!

[@daverosenthal3265]

Fantastic Colin! Just learned about you recently and after watching a few of your videos and have come to the conclusion you are one of the best photography related resources out there. Your ability to teach with empathy (taking into account varying skill levels watching) is uncanny. So for that...thank you. Very much looking forward to your resizing tutorial!!! Of late I have been printing 48”x 32” dye sublimation on metal and would love to hear your thoughts on preparing images not only for size but modifications for print on different materials. DR

[@jcscobucci]

Great explanation you gave by dpi versus ppi. I'm looking forward to seeing the video part 2. Congratulations. Thank you .

[@celinemorisset5533]

So helpful to get the basics and clearly explained. Also not a beginer Colin but realy appreciate the resolution explanation as well as you do. Well done. Thanks!

[@barryjhk]

Very informative! Length was fine. Easily understandable!

[@garypeterson555]

Thanks for explaining it. Hopefully you will explain in very simple terms how to take an image and make it so it will print out in a specific size. I have had pictures printed out and parts of the image were cropped off in the enlarging process.

Very interesting and well explained, very useful to know. These videos are about the right length as no point in giving a condensed confusing short version

Thank you for clearing this up. Still a little fuzzy on the subject and it just means to watch a time or two. I am looking forward to your resizing video.

[@TheBarry0714]

Thank you! Very solid. I have been doing this for several years but could always use refreshers. Keep it up.

[@831Miranda]

YES, very useful info! Repetition is good when learning something really new!

[@FranHoganPanama]

Thank you for this. I am not a beginner either, but I've been resizing on a hit or miss basis for years. Now I finally have a grip on how it works. I still use 72 ppi for online images even though you just taught me that many monitors are now at 82. As to length of your videos, take as long as it takes to explain and I will watch. The newest June Photoshop updates are amazing!

[@raginic5180]

As always, video is so informative and you explained so well. Thanks

Hey Colin! Thank you so much for explaining the complexity and very confusing subject in graphic design. They need to redevelop and redesign this part of graphic design and simply it so it is easy to understand and use.

Colin: Thanks for this excellent video explaining a simple but often poorly understood topic. I am not a newbie to photoshop or photography, but I learned from this and found it helpful.

[@ChristinaMcKay]

Thanks for the video. I have explained this numerous times to website clients when they deliver 300dpi images although the contract says otherwise and that I charge extra for converting them or they will have a slow website. I will send them here in the future. Have a great weekend.

[@SageCrispin]

@@belindameitiboubis903 Yes... I think! It is the "dimensions" that are the transmitted data, not the ppi/dpi. The actual size-the megapixels-that are sent and processed/drawn by the receiving machine that would determine the perceived "speed" of the website. Correct?

[@photoshopcafe]

We will be covering file size and compression in the next video in this series.

[@ChristinaMcKay]

@@belindameitiboubis903 I should have explained what I meant with that comment. I am no native speaker, so instead of writing a long comment, where I might be using wrong terms I rather show it in a short, unlisted video. Unfortunately I can't post the link, the comment got blocked, and I don't want to make the video public either because it doesn't fit the rest of my channel which is about 3D.
