SVBercum Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hi All, I'm afraid this is just a very basic question. Though I'm struggling with it. When I resize a .jpg image from 300 DPI to 72 DPI, and then make the image smaller from 1200 to 900 width, the image is not sharp anymore. Untill now I worked with Photoshop, and there this always worked and images remain sharp. Do I do anything wrong? Thanks a lot in advance for you help!

John Rostron Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Are you performing two Resize operations, one to change the dpi and the other to change the pixel count? Or are you combining these in one Resize operation? Do you have the Resample box ticked? 1200 pixels at 300dpi means a size of 4in. 900 pixels at 72dpi means a size of 12.5in John Quote Windows 10, Affinity Photo 1.10.5 Designer 1.10.5 and Publisher 1.10.5 (mainly Photo), now ex-Adobe CC CPU: AMD A6-3670.

Mahlin78 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I sort of got the same problem. I like to resize my pictures before I put them online on my blogg. The photo is 3600x3600 pixels and 300 dpi before and when I've done the resize they are 540x540 pixels and 300 dpi. Then are the pictures very unsharp and I'm not used to that from using Photoshop. What am I doing wrong or missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Use right resampling method (like Lanczos) and sharpen image after resample if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
