How to Change the Attribute of Pictures

Attach your digital camera to your computer using a USB cable, or insert the memory card from your camera into a card reader, and download the images to your computer.

Double-click the icon on your desktop to open the photo editing program you use to edit or print your pictures. When the program is open, click "File," select "Open" and choose the picture you want to change.

Click "Image" or "Edit" in the navigation bar of the program you are using and select "Image size" from the menu. Depending on the program, the wording and location for this menu may be different. You want the feature that will allow you to change the size of the picture.

Change the values in "Height," "Width" and "DPI" to change the physical attributes of the picture. The height and width will adjust the physical size, while DPI will adjust the resolution of the picture.

Click "File" and select "Image Properties" from the drop-down menu. Image properties will contain the data that was recorded when the picture was taken. In here, you can change or remove the date when it was taken and add your name or a company name as the owner of the picture. Click "Ok" when all the changes have been made and they will be saved.

Click "File" and select "Save as" from the drop-down menu. Give your image a new name or title and select the format you want to save it in. JPEG is a widely-used format for saving pictures. You can also use a TIFF format that will retain more information from the image. If you are using Adobe Photoshop, you can use a PSD file format for you picture that retains the workflow steps for easy adjustment when you work on the picture again.
