Could you try and reduce the canvas size of the image and then perhaps lower the amount of sharpening on the image, I'm not 100% as to whether this would work but it is definately worth trying.

Crop it. Select the crop tool, then enter the figures in the top two boxes, then run the crop tool over the image and double click to crop when you've selected the right bit.

I don't think you'll get it all in though, so you'll have to decide on the most important bits

I assume you are trying to take a normal 3x2 image and turn it into a 150x150 image.

If so you will need to crop it to a square first, go to crop and put in the dimensions 150x150.

If that makes sense?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


Beaten to it

anyone what to have a go !

The maximum amount you could get is this...

You can move the square to the left or right. There is no way to get more image or am I not understanding you correctly?

thats a bummer

No not really, unless you do this or your really good with photoshop and clone in the rest. I could try but it won't look great...

The problem is that they are different shapes, you will have to choose if you want it to be 150px x 150px and lose some of the side, or 150px x 100px and have the whole image viewable.

You could have it at 150x150 and use photoshop to reduce the size of the gap between the two parts of the flower. It will make the flowers look closer togheter but you still get all of the detailed parts in the image

As with any basic geometry problem, you are trying to fit a rectangular shape in to a square hole. To do that you will either have to cut a bit off the long side of the rectangle, which will lose some of the picture, or you will have to squeeze it, which will result in a distorted looking image.

perennial problem for web designers too, clients supply images and expect wonders, sometimes it's just not going to happen

One way is to square the canvas, then resize. This of course means that you will have a white boarder on two sides.
Here's the code to do it...

#target photoshop
var strtRulerUnits = app.preferences.rulerUnits; 
var strtTypeUnits = app.preferences.typeUnits; 
app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS; 
app.preferences.typeUnits = TypeUnits.PIXELS; 
var White = new SolidColor; 
White.rgb.hexValue = 'ffffff';
backgroundColor = White;
if(activeDocument.width.value > activeDocument.height.value){
	app.activeDocument.resizeCanvas(activeDocument.width.value, activeDocument.width.value, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
	}else{
		app.activeDocument.resizeCanvas(activeDocument.height.value, activeDocument.height.value, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER);
}
app.activeDocument.resizeImage(new UnitValue(150,'mm'), undefined, undefined, ResampleMethod.BICUBIC); 
app.preferences.rulerUnits = strtRulerUnits; 
app.preferences.typeUnits = strtTypeUnits;

If you've got PS CS4 then you could try the content-aware scaling. That should give a decent result.
