Resizing Images While Keeping Resolution

If you want to resize a large photo you have to take the correct precautions to prevent losing too much resolution. Making an image smaller can make it appear blurry if you don't do it right. This can make the picture less clear than it should be.

Fortunately Adobe Photoshop has the ability to fix this issue with its advanced editing tools.

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 make an image smaller go to Image> Image Size> Resample Image. Choose Bicubic Sharper from the resulting menu. This setting will minimize any blur that occurs when resizing the image.

When you want to increase the size of an image, but want to minimize the resolution loss choose 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.

Repeating the resizing process too many times will increase the resolution loss giving a blurry appearance. To avoid this only resize the image once. If you want try out different sizes, use a copy of the original image and when you find the right measurements, simply apply them to the original image once you're done.
