When changing the size of an image in Photoshop, there's really two ways to go about it. You can either resize the image, or you can resample the image. A lot of people use the terms resizing and resampling as if they mean the same thing, but they don't, and there's an important difference between the two. That difference, as important as it is, is controlled by nothing more than a single checkbox option at the bottom of the Image Size dialog box, as we'll see in this Photoshop tutorial.

As I just mentioned, the choice of resizing or resampling your image is handled by the Image Size dialog box, which can be found under the Image menu at the top of the screen. The difference between resizing and resampling has to do with whether or not you're changing the number of pixels in the image, or as Photoshop calls it, changing the pixel dimensions of the image. If you're keeping the number of pixels in the image the same and simply changing the size at which the image will print, or in Photoshop terminology, changing the document size of the image, that's known as resizing. If, on the other hand, you are physically changing the number of pixels in the image, that's called resampling
