@scottk1525 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video, though not quite what I was hoping for given the title. How does one increase an image *beyond* 100% without losing quality? I think that's what most people who click this video are probably interested in. Cheers.

@pixelandbracket 7 лет назад

you are exactly right. the problem is that beyond 100%... quality loss is unavoidable. there's a grey area, maybe between 100-125% that the image is still acceptable (depending on the format/publication). HOWEVER, there are some techniques to help cover up some of the quality loss (surface blur, unsharp mask, etc). based on the popularity of this tutorial and the number of people searching for ways to increase quality I definitely plan on recording a tutorial showing a few of those processes. thanks for the comment though Scott, I'll let you know when I release that video!

@thethomasboy 5 лет назад

@@pixelandbracket I think many people would find a succinct yet comprehensive tutorial like this very useful. The infinite complexity and power of the tools PS / AI offer, can make lower-res images 'workable' -- though the process can be daunting. Many freelance and amateur designers (like myself) simply lack the time or experience to properly enlarge/vectorize the lo-res images we get from clients. Creating a tutorial(s) that shows the process, then optimum 'starting settings' for general use, then continues with tweaking examples by displaying how each tool works would be invaluable.

You can also start with a picture, NOT size it down, and then no pixelation will occur. Then try NOT enlarging it, so nothing happens to your pixels.

@AlexArtist325 6 лет назад

This tutorial shows you how to use smart objects to retain the full quality of your images while adjusting them in Photoshop. I think some people might be looking for a way to enlarge a low quality photo to make a high quality one, but that's simply not possible. Images are made up of pixels and there are only so many to work with. If you resize a low quality image, it will look pixelated. Photoshop can only do so much interpolation based on the surrounding pixels. You can add sharpening and blur effects, but at the end of the day it's not a high quality photo. As a professional designer, you will need to find a better photo, sadly there's no magic bullet.

@LORDSofCHAOS333 3 года назад

Yeah but in a way those are also the limit's of the photo quality as well. If the photo or image has at least 300 DPI it will be okay for prints and no matter what size we print it . In some parts it will alweys look bad like blurry or not crispy . I only can wish to see the day when we find a way to rezie it no matter in what size and never lose the same quality . A mix between vector and Rez

Thank you! For those who don't know: you don't have to have the image saved on your PC. You can just Right-click any image and click Convert to Smart Object! I didn't want to have all images in my document saved on my pc so looked into it and found it's that simple. However, @Pixel & Bracket, do you maybe know of some downsides to this? Just curious, since maybe there is a reason why it's not mentioned in the video. Thanks again, this vid helped me!

Pixel & Bracket well they are probably the same people who can't use coupons correctly at a grocery store either lol. Some people just don't use common sense in hand with reading the fine print. Even though I didn't end up using your method, rather taking a bunch of macro photos and stitching them together to make a big image that was clear at the one inch eye level and not blurry. But nonetheless learned something from your video.

@erdemsekerpare 6 лет назад

First of all, in Photoshop resizing the images will get re-calculate (draw) in every single time from last layer, hence it will eventually cause poor quality when u increase and then decrease the size. Theres no way to escape it in rasterized file-layers due to Photoshop’s program build. its simply not vector based program. For turning around this photoshop has 2 thing; linked layers and smart object. Those 2 option always uses the original file’s base information. Hence when u increase size and then shrink it, it always uses the original size. And this is the optimum way of using files in Photoshop. Else gtfo and use illustrator. As for increasing sizes, using the pixel ratio change is the way to go. it shows u the best possible resolution of your file instead of manually changing sizes. Another tip, always use 10 20 25 50 75 100 etc. Way to increase file size with changing pixel sizes. it will reduce the work load of Photoshop due its redrawing it every single time when u change the file. it will increase the life span of your picture and reducing the quality loss. So in short ur informations are simply for amateurs and not an actual tip. its the way it should be.

Interesting! I've never understood Smart Objects before. What if the original photo is one you've just created in Photoshop and you want to move it into another photo and resize? ..... Is it possible to directly SAVE the photo you've first created as a "Smart Object"? If that is so, is it a good idea to save all your pics as a Smart Object so that anytime you want to resize, it can be done without losing quality?

@pixelandbracket 6 лет назад

Yes yes yes and yes! Haha. Here’s what i would do, if you have a photo, and you open it in photoshop and make layer adjustments and edits, simply save it as a photoshop file. You can go to place embedded (or linked) and select that PSD file. It will bring it in as a smart object, allowing you to retain full quality AND giving you the opportunity to quickly double-click and edit that same PSD.

The rectangular perimeter of the image I resized to be part of a composite image, needed to be removed; so, I zoomed into the resized image within the composite image and used a selection tool (lasso or magic wand, I can't remember) and cut out the resized image from its bordered perimeter. Then the resized image, within the composite, looked seemless and was able to continue whether other editing. What would you have done?

@photojames160 5 лет назад

This tutorial is like so many tutorials that I try to follow. The person doing it does everything so fast that you can’t follow along, and gives little explanation of why they’re doing it. It’s like they know it so well and they spit it out so fast, they think everyone should know this and be able to do it the first time out. If you’re trying to follow along it’s really hard to do when they’re doing everything as if you already know it. Any good to teacher should do a step-by-step of what they are doing and why you’re doing it! But I guess if you want to learn something it’s better than nothing at all.

@pixelandbracket 5 лет назад

@mathun791 7 лет назад

RESIZE mean change the size. Resize is about enlarge and reduction. This tutorial is about Reduction only. This is not big deal to reduce size of image without losing quality.

@pixelandbracket 7 лет назад

+mathun it’s also about enlarging after reducing. Many times I’ve seen files where the creator hasn’t followed a non-destructive workflow, thus forcing us to re-edit original images etc. this is also for those who don’t understand that when they shrink a non-smart object it loses quality and its ability to be properly scaled back up. Seen it a million times, however I am working on a tutorial with a few techniques that you can use to help image quality when you enlarge past 100% scale, but it’s a losing battle at that point

@mathun791 7 лет назад

no is not. You not showing how enlarge image without losing quality. There is instruction how to back to original size :) Because you are using Smart Object you do not reduce the size of oryginal picture. You make think that you are reduce it, because you see that is it smaller on your monitor :)
