    • Pixel Size to specify the pixel dimensions of the image. Keep in mind that the on-screen size of the opened image depends on both the pixel size and resolution you choose. (See About image size and resolution.)
    • Profile to specify a device profile for color management. (See About color management.)
  4. Select options for the destination image:
    • Resolution to specify the resolution of the opened image.
    • Color Space to specify a color profile for the opened image. (See About color management.)
