Resizing Images While Keeping Resolution

by David Peters

When you make an image smaller you may interfere with the resolution making the final image take on a blurry appearance. With large, clear images this can be devastating to the effect of the image.

This is a problem in many editing programs, but Adobe Photoshop has the tools to fix this.

You must have at least Photoshop CS to perform this function. The CS series is the most advanced software for editing images so you should get a copy. It is used by media professionals all over the world because of its unrivalled capabilities.

To reduce the size of a picture without losing too much resolution go to Image> Image Size. Click on Resample Image and then pick Bicubic Sharper from the options. This will produce the best results when resizing an image as it significantly reduces the blurring of the image when you change its size.

If you want to enlarge a photograph without losing too much resolution select the Bicubic Smoother.

This process is so effective that I would recommend setting Bicubic Sharper as the default selection when you start the software. You can do this by going to Preferences> General> Image Interpolation. Here you can select Bicubic Sharper as the default.

It is important not to perform multiple resizing on an image. To experiment with image size, use a copy of the original image as many resizings will reduce the resolution of the image more than is needed. Use the copy to find out what size you want then use the dimensions on the original to keep resizing to a minimum on the image you will finally use.
