Hello I have an image that I am trying to use as an email. Right now it is 2108 pixels. And for an email it should be 600 px. I created this image in illustrator as vectors and type.

Whenever I go into image size and i change it to be 600 pixels it gets extremely blurry. I have also tried converting this to a smart object... doesnt work. How do I resize my large image to be smaller without losing quality???

.

you can't just open the .ai document in Photoshop and set the pixel dimensions to the desired width or height???

Right, Thats what I'm trying to explain though. That's exactly what I've been doing and its not working. Changing the width and height makes my image look more pixelated.

Kate, I beleive there is an issue where vector images transfered to Photoshop, come in with tiny pixel values. 100 x 100 sort of thing. So making them 600 pixels wide is going to cause jaggies. I don't know the proper fix, but I am sure it is an Google. Or you could just use a screen grab from Illustrator.

I'll look for the fix, but can you tell us what version of Photoshop, and what operating system you are using?

I have search google!! I have found image resizing websites but they make it blurry too. The screen grab doesnt have the best resolution..usually. But I'll try it!

I am using photoshop cc.

I have the creative clous suite, so my illustrator is cc too.

Thank you!!
