resizing files

[Gary3Hearts]

Dear Friends: Sorry to be remedial here, but after poring over Steve's book and online looking for step by step resizing help AND making nice little jpeggies of my stills, I still cannot reset their sizes and they are gargantuanon my timeline back in PRE. Can someone puh-lease walk me through resizing step by step...both from a camera and from stills already on the hard drive of my computator?

Many thanks!

Can you confirm that you've resized your photos? And have you swapped in the resized photos for the pictures you originally loaded into your project?

We're to help you troubleshoot this, but you're going to have to provide us step by step details of what you're doing and what you're seeing or not seeing, Gary.

This may sound dumb but if you need different sizes of the same picture, is it ok to resize a photo that has already been resized?

eg. I need both 1000 wide and 640 wide from a large photo, do I resize the 1000 wide to 640 or make the 640 from the original?

Remember that each time you modify a jpeg you lose some quality.

I always save the jpeg as a psd (which will not lose quality after it's modified) before I resize.
I then use the psd files in my project.
