I like to go head and show you how to resize images. Now before we get too deep into it I am going to show you some problems with resizing and sizing down. So we have kind of little understanding what Photoshop does to our images when we resize them.
I opened a small 2×2 pixels image in the Photoshop. You can download this image here. I zoomed in the image too 800%. The image looks like this.
You can see that these are 4 pixels, 2 across and two down. Its black white then white black. What I am going to do is reduce the size of the image to 50% from 2×2 to 1×1 Pixels. So 50% is 1/2 of the size.
