Too late. Already ordered and viewed. Your PSE 2024 course is your best. Learned a lot.
George, I bought your training program for PSE 2019 a few days ago and I'm amazed a t what a good teacher you are! The amount I'm learning vs. the amount I paid makes it one of the smartest purchases I've ever made. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much for the wonderful help on this subject. It worked so well with some pictures I had.
You are so welcome!
The checkerboard illustration was brilliant! Thanks, George.
You're welcome Bruce. Took me a while to come up with an idea how best to show that upping the resolution also softens the image, I think the checkerboard explains it well.

I never considered using the 1st step to increase sharpness because it seemed to be counterproductive. I always used only the second step but I never completely liked the results. I am glad to learn your technique. What I especially liked was the thorough explanation and demonstration of what was happening in each step. Thanks.

Outstanding video!

Glad you liked it!
Thanks so much, I’m wanting to send photos off to have them printed but it’s telling me my photos are to low of resolution and I had no idea how to increase the res so I’m very thankful for your help. I have the 2018 version of Elements.
You're welcome Mark. In the future of course rule number one is to always shoot pictures at a high resolution.

Another awesome video ... thank-you George. What does the radius slider do in relationship to using the adjust sharpness amount slider? I noticed in your tutorial it was set at 4.4 pixels.
Hi Brian, the adjust sharpness slider controls pixel contrast and the radius slider controls how much area around each pixel Photoshop Elements is taking into consideration when making the adjustment. Usually a larger radius setting will limit or lesson detail and a smaller setting will allow more detail. In actual practice you want to be balancing both slider controls for the best visual setting for each individual photo, there is no good general setting to use all the time. Increasing the slider control for radius will tend to soften the focus of the image as it is averaging a larger area, this can be useful to help remove imperfections in the photo but in this video we want to keep it fairly low to preserve as much detail as possible while still blending out the pixels.
George
Another awesome video
Thanks again!
George, one of the best most useful videos I have seen, let me tell you why. I communicate with many relatives and have access to many pictures on FB and other sites, you can enlarge these photos visually and then download them but they are always at 72 PX. That is because of FB or whomever using them for web purpose. The pictures are usually great, taken with modern camera phones but are tough to edit because of the problems you have outlined. You might be able to Dropbox them or something but not everyone knows how to do this. It gets worse when you try to do a composition because of all the different levels of pixel sizes and edges. This method changes the whole game field and now will allow me some room for improvement. Can't wait to try a few of these and see how it works!
Thanks for doing the research and all you do!

Thanks Rich, changing the resolution on an image is one of those basic but necessary skills. I have touched upon it in the past but decided to really hit the topic head on with this video.
George
Glad you did touch on this again, but even more with the 72px picture gave it a real life and very common purpose.
Rich
Thanks Rich

Excellent presentation George. It's been 5 years since this video was recorded. A lot of advancements have been made in AI regarding resizing and sharpening. That said, do you use those programs now or do you still prefer to use this technique? Thanks for showing us this!
Hi Tom, i use a variety of techniques depending on the project and the need. Sometimes I use this trick, sometimes I use AI, depends on the project. Of course I do most of my own work in Adobe Photoshop because it is more capable.
Oh George, you reminded me of how old I am. This demo took me back to when I was editing images on my old Amigas using PPaint :) Great demonstration explaining how to remove some of those jaggies that digital images have :)
Thanks! As AI improves programs like Photoshop are getting better at this every year.
@@HTGGeorge But we are still trying to describe a curve with squares ;)
@@baf_mcnab3065 And putting round pegs in square holes, I like using a hammer.
Thank you for this video. Good demonstration. My experience is not directly go from 72 to 300 but first 72/150 en than 150/300. De 300dpi isn’t always necessary. For publications in printed magazines is 266dpi enough en for the home printer 240. This are minimums. Have a good day. Frank (I am on Getty Images under the name: Frank Smout Images)
Thanks Frank. Interesting idea, I will have to check that. My big concern would be that you are asking PSE to interpolate to a new size 2 times which will probably soften the image more that interpolating only 1 time. For the best results it would be preferable to go from 72ppi to 144, then to 288, because each time is simply a doubling of the pixel size which should give the least amount of softening of the image. If your original was 75ppi, then it would be 150 and 300. From my experiece having worked in the book, magazine, and movie poster field for loads of years back in the 80s and 90s most professional printers want 300ppi. Best to ask first and give them what they want. For printing to online services, the same advice applies, ask what they want. For home printers the higher the resolution the better, most home injet printers can work up to 1200ppi.But back to the real world, most people won't see much difference it using a good printer with good glossy photo paper, but personally I like Canon printers the best for photo work.
One more thought, ideally you would never need the advice in this video, and now there are better methods using AI which are amazing.
I always use Unsharp Mask. How is that different from Adjust Sharpness? Also, I often make a dupe layer, go to Filer > Other > High Pass > Select a Radius around 6.0 then select Vivid or Soft or Hard Light. You know WAY more than I do. What about those 2 methods for increasing sharpness? TIA
In the end no difference. Using the HIgh Pass filter is the oldest technique, that was followed by the Unsharp Mask, then the newest technique is Adjust Sharpness which is what I use. The bottom line is, which technique you like using best, they are all apprpriate.
Wow I never thought something like this was possible
Just don't expect too much if you have a highly pixelated image.
George
Excellent I usually do most of this but was missing size increase to 4000. Have done this a lot with pictures taken by my first digital camea, I think it was about 3-4 pix. Do you keep the picture at that size or redice the size? If so what settings?
I always keep my pictures at the max size for the best quality. I only reduce the size if it is needed for the final output. The images I use on CZcams I get at the same size as the video , 1080p, which is about 4x6 actual. For my own stuff I keep it at the orignal size for best quality retention and shoot at the highest resolution my camera can handle.
Hi. I'm just starting with Photoshop Elements and I would like to set up my opening page so it looks like yours. Right now, I can't see all the options you have on the left... Select, Enhance, Draw, Modify etc. How can I get them there? Do you have a Photoshop Elements seat up video? Thanks!
Hi, real easy. First make sure you are in the Editor and not the Organizer. Then click on the Expert tab. All of my videos are demonstrated in Expert Mode which has the tools panel on the left.
George
How To Gurus oh my goodness yes! How embarrassing! Thank you!
: )
Hi, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with dummies like me. My dilemma is, I've created an online family heritage book (pictures & journaling) where my work will no longer be available to me after Nov 1st.(too long a story for here). Pages are 11" x 14". I want to save each page as a jpeg or png and be able to upload each to Shutterfly (only accepts jpeg/png) for production later. How do I save these pages in the highest resolution so the end product with be the best quality possible. I'm new to PSE 2020 and learning as I go but I'm under the gun to make this happen before Nov 1st. Thank you in advance for helping me.
Hi Marion, you should save the images at their original resolution to retain as much quality as possible. Whenever you change the resolution there will be a loss of quality, it may be small but it will be there. You can of course use tricks to make it look better and that is where Photoshop Elements comes in. But for the originals keep those at the original resolution. When you are ready to upload those to Shutterfly you can change the resolution at that point depending on Shutterfly's requirements.
@@HTGGeorge Thank you George, I keep learning so much from you. Thank you for taking things slow and explaining in easy to understand terms.
@@mariond7397 You're welcome Marion

Thanks!
Question: I am trying to copy a person from one pic to another. In the process, I need to resize the image of the person I copied. even though I keep proportion of the image, the images starts to pixelized. Not sure why its happening (I am expecting it to happen when I enlarge the image not reducing it). Either way, the image starts to look bad. I saw a video in PS suggesting to do it via "smart objects" which don't exists in Elements. What can we do to avoid it? subject for another great video ?? ;)
Hi, the best thing to do is to get the resolutions and sizes right before copying the person from one pic to the other. One more thing to do that can help is to use the "place" command in the File menu to bring your photo into the project. By using "place" the image comes in as a Smart Object and is linked to the original, which means that when you resize the image layer in the project Adobe will go back to the original image and re-figure out the enlargement. Of course the first line above still applies, always get the resolutions and sizes right first before combining images. Also make sure you are working at 300ppi and not 72ppi, the higher resolution will help cut down on any pixelation.
George
George is there an artificial intelligence add-on for PSE that will improve low resolution images? Would love to know if you recommend any. Thanks.
Hi Leanna, I haven't heard of anything like that yet
How To Gurus topazlabs.com offers an AI software solution to fix low res pics. Don’t know how it works but it may involve sending pic to cloud for fix.
@@leannatimmerman9922 I'll look into it. Also just found another one. I am working on my next training course for CorelDRAW 2020 and one of the new features they have included this year is an upres utility that works with AI and appears to do a great job, haven't tried it out yet. But of course CorelDRAW is expensive.
Is this possible in photoshop 2018?? I really need to de pixelate an image
Sure, this will work the same in Photoshop Elements 2019 and also in Adobe Photoshop as well.
@@HTGGeorge so sorry for the late reply gurus i actually never check my in box.
ok so then i can do this in photoshop? my image is really depixelated...
Need updated vid with ai
I haven't yet found an image up sizer that I am completely happy with yet. Most are very good and can get rid of pixelization but they still tend to lose details. But I am sure that there will be a perfect one soon as AI is improving every month.
Fairly Good. Really excellent in explanation of each tool. Spends a little too much time explaning (Notice This and Notice That) then you go over what to expect again. To much redundency in explaining. Get to the guts faster. I forgot where to get the tools it took so long on explanation of what Im seeing, I had to keep backing up to remember what tool and where the tool was.
Hi Marcia, that is really funny. Most of the comments I get about the quality of my videos is that I move too fast! In any case I have been doing this since CZcams started and I will be sticking with my style and pacing.
Please just move on to explain.
This is how I make my videos. I am teaching how to use Photoshop Elements, not just how to do a fast trick.
