Right, need help pretty quick on this, don't have too long and not sure if this is right. No worries if you can't help me or anything but just pretty much need to sort this. I have a picture, about 500x500 at 2000pixels/inch resolution, as far as i know i can convert this into say a 1000x1000px picture at half the resolution right? I have no idea how. Need help please. Thanks in advance to all comments made, anything could help.

depending on what program you are using it should be as simple as resize or resample

well this is the wrong forum, anyway if you use photoshop you can try the image size or canvas size.

I already stated this, but i will say it again anywayz...

the fact that your settings are at 2000 ppi, has got nothing to do with the fact that your image is 500 pixels wide and 500 pixels high.
It would only mean that if you would print this file it would be 0.25 inch (500 : 2000) wide and high. If you change the settings in f.ex; lets say 500 ppi, then if you would print the same file it would be 1 inch wide and high, but... it would still be 500 x 500 pixels. (And as long as you would print it above the 150 ppi it would come out reasonable nice)

So, when you ask us to change the picture into something of 1000 x 1000, you wouldnt be able to do that by changing the ppi settings, but you need the tell whatever program your using to calculate and create new pixels, between the onces that already exists now. --> in Photoshop thats the menu-item: image > image size...

SO, what program are you using?

If you're using Photoshop, try the image resample method. I have a tutorial that describes how to make it into a macro so you can use it anytime you want.
