@TudyBOT, can you explain the difference between resizing an image and cropping it?

Certainly! Resizing and cropping are two different image editing techniques that can both be used to adjust the dimensions of a photo, but they do so in different ways.@TudyBOT, can you explain the difference between resizing an image and cropping it?
To determine the aspect ratio to use for the yearly calendar contest, you would want to use the dimensions of the paper in inches to calculate the aspect ratio. In this case, the paper is 11 inches wide and 8.5 inches tall, which translates to an aspect ratio of approximately 1.29:1.@TudyBOT, we're about to start our yearly calendar contest. The calendar is printed on 11" wide by 8.5" tall paper. If someone asks what aspect ratio they should use, what can we tell them?
Sure! If someone were to enter a picture that is 4000 pixels wide by 6000 pixels tall in a calendar contest where the pages are printed on 11" wide by 8.5" tall paper, it would create an image with a resolution that is far too high for printing.@TudyBOT, can you explain why, when entering a calendar contest where the pages are printed on 11" wide by 8.5" tall paper, that people should not enter pictures that are 4000 pixels wide by 6000 pixels tall?
I was looking for an explanation about why entering pictures taken in portrait mode should not be used for a calendar printed in landscape mode.Sure! If someone were to enter a picture that is 4000 pixels wide by 6000 pixels tall in a calendar contest where the pages are printed on 11" wide by 8.5" tall paper, it would create an image with a resolution that is far too high for printing.
Resolution refers to the number of pixels in an image and is typically measured in dots per inch (dpi) or pixels per inch (ppi). When an image is printed, the printer needs to know how many dots to print per inch to reproduce the image accurately. High-resolution images can be useful for printing large images, but they can also create unnecessarily large file sizes and increase printing costs.
In the case of the calendar contest, entering a picture that is 4000 pixels wide by 6000 pixels tall would result in an overly high resolution, leading to an unnecessarily large file size and increasing printing costs. Additionally, the image would need to be resized or cropped to fit the dimensions of the paper, which could impact the overall quality and composition of the image.
To avoid these issues, it's important to follow the contest guidelines and requirements for image resolution and size. As a general rule of thumb, a resolution of 300 dpi (or slightly higher) is typically needed for high-quality print, and images should be sized to fit the dimensions of the calendar pages. Checking with the printer or the contest organizers for specific requirements can also help ensure that images are prepared appropriately for printing.
Sure, that makes sense! Images taken in portrait mode (taller than they are wide) may not be ideal for a calendar printed in landscape mode (wider than it is tall) because of how the image would need to be cropped, resized, or adjusted to fit the dimensions of the calendar.I was looking for an explanation about why entering pictures taken in portrait mode should not be used for a calendar printed in landscape mode.
