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.
Fortunately Adobe Photoshop has the ability to fix this issue with its advanced editing tools.
To perform this function you must own at least the CS version of Photoshop. If you don’t have this version, you may want to get it as it has far advanced features. Buying the software will get rid of the limitations you may have when editing your pictures.
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 tool is so useful for resizing that you may want to select it as the default so that it is automatically selected when you start your Adobe Photoshop up. To do this go to Preferences> General where you can select Image Interpolation. Here you just choose Bicubic Sharper from among the selection and it should be set as your new 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.
