The conversion of a 4.5 ratio to photoshop results in approximately 5.625.
This value is calculated by multiplying the ratio by 1.25, which is the factor used to convert ratio units into photoshop units. This conversion is useful for scaling or transforming measurements when working between these two systems.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert a ratio value to photoshop units is:
Photoshop = Ratio × 1.25
This works because photoshop units are scaled up by 25% compared to ratio units. When you multiply the ratio by 1.25, you are increasing the value proportionally to fit the photoshop scale.
For example, given a ratio of 4.5:
- Multiply 4.5 by 1.25
- 4.5 × 1.25 = 5.625
- The photoshop value equivalent to 4.5 ratio is 5.625
Conversion Example
- Example 1: Convert 3.2 ratio to photoshop.
- Multiply 3.2 by 1.25
- 3.2 × 1.25 = 4.0
- Result: 4.0 photoshop units
- Example 2: Convert 7 ratio to photoshop.
- Multiply 7 by 1.25
- 7 × 1.25 = 8.75
- Result: 8.75 photoshop units
- Example 3: Convert -2.5 ratio to photoshop.
- Multiply -2.5 by 1.25
- -2.5 × 1.25 = -3.125
- Result: -3.125 photoshop units
- Example 4: Convert 0 ratio to photoshop.
- Multiply 0 by 1.25
- 0 × 1.25 = 0
- Result: 0 photoshop units

Conversion Definitions
Ratio: A ratio is a quantitative relationship between two numbers showing how many times one value contains or is contained within the other. It expresses proportional comparison, helping to scale or compare sizes, amounts, or quantities in different contexts.
Photoshop: Photoshop is a digital image editing software developed by Adobe, used to manipulate graphics and photos. In conversion context, photoshop units refer to a scaled measurement system employed within the software for designing, resizing, or aligning visual elements accurately.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor 1.25 used to convert ratio to photoshop?
The factor 1.25 accounts for the difference in unit scales between ratio and photoshop. Photoshop units are 25% larger than ratio units, so multiplying by 1.25 adjusts the ratio value to match photoshop’s measurement scale. This scaling ensures visual consistency when transferring measurements.
Can the conversion produce negative photoshop values?
Yes, when the ratio value is negative, multiplying by 1.25 will produce a negative photoshop value. This might represent direction or position on an axis in design layouts where negative values can indicate locations relative to an origin point.
Is the conversion formula valid for all ratio values?
The formula works for any numeric ratio, positive or negative, including decimals and zero. However, extremely large or small values might require additional context or adjustments depending on the specific photoshop project or scaling needs.
What to do if the conversion result needs to be rounded?
Photoshop units often require rounding to fit pixel grids or design constraints. The formula result can be rounded to needed decimal places or integers. The conversion tool shown rounds to 4 decimal places, but this can be adjusted depending on precision requirements.
Does this conversion apply to other design software?
The 1.25 factor is specific to the ratio-to-photoshop scale relationship. Other design programs might use different scaling or unit systems, so this exact conversion may not apply universally outside photoshop contexts.
