Resizing Images in Adobe Photoshop

When you resize a large, sharp photo to a smaller size you may find that the new image has lost its sharpness. This is a common problem with changing the size of large, clear images. The blurry look can detract from the quality of the image.

This is a fairly common issue when resizing images, but with Photoshop there's a solution.

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 an image go to Image> Image Size. Select Resample Image and then select Bicubic Sharper from the menu. This is the optimal setting for reducing the blurring of the image when you resize it.

When you want to make an image larger, select Bicubic Smoother.

This method is extremely effective in keeping the sharpness of the image. You can set this as the default to make things easy for you by going to Preferences> General where you will see Image Interpolation. Select Bicubic Sharper as the default choice and it will be set as the default from now on.

Remember that performing more than one resize on an image will give it more blur. To experiment with the size that you want, use a duplicate image as multiple resizing will ruin the original image. Once you've found the size you want, you can apply the dimensions to the original image.
