18. With cd-artwork.psd still active, choose File>Revert.
This command restores the file to the last-saved version. Because you saved the
completed artwork at the beginning of this stage, the command restores the artwork to
its original 10.25″ file size.
Because enlarging a raster image to such a degree (more than 200% to go from 5″ to
10.25″) would almost certainly cause image degradation, you are restoring the larger
version instead of saving the smaller one.

19. Continue to the next exercise.

The final file required for this project is a 3000 x 3000 pixel, high-quality JPEG file.

1. With cd-artwork.psd open and restored to its last-saved state, choose
Image>Image Size.

2. Choose Pixels in the Width menu.

3. With the Resample option checked, change the Width field to 3000.
Again, you are defining the actual number of pixels to include in the file. If the resample
was not checked, changing the width or height would only change the distribution of
pixels instead of changing the actual number of pixels in the file.

Choose Pixels in
the Width menu.
Change the number
of pixels in this field.

The Resample option
should be checked.

4. Click OK to finalize the new size.
This file is not being printed, so you don’t
need to worry about the bleed and margin
areas. Because the size reduction is slight in
this case, no further adjustment is required
before saving the JPEG file for digital
music libraries.
