Image skills

Hi there, here are a few examples of how to crop and resize images for a purpose.
For editing the images I used Adobe Photoshop CS3.

Below is the origional image, which I chose to take of The Media Factory, as I felt it was a usefulidentifying factor of the university, that would be easily recognisible if used online to accompany an article



first I resized the image to a 100x100 pixel thumbnail:




After that I created a 400 wide by 300 pixel high image:



Finally I cropped the image so it was 200 wide by 500 pixels high:




So there a few ways in which you can alter an image to fit a story, or generally illustrate a point.
