Re: image resizing advice

the goose thought carefully and then said:

Thought here, Squiggly Linda ;-)
When you're saving as you alter them choose whatever file saves the best
image, make the.jpg the final effort.

Morning Pam :-)
I've just scanned the same document about 20 times, all at different
settings and most I'm not impressed with. Strangely, the one that turns out
the clearest and reasonably sized (kb) file is when I use PSP to Import and
let the scanner use its AutoScan function (not quite sure what those
settings actually are, will have to poke around and see if I can read them
somewhere). The result is clearer, brighter yet smaller in kb than anything
I've tried with other progs/DPI's and manual settings. All I did after
scanning was to rotate and resize to 1300 pixels width. I can see it uses
something called Smart Size to resample (on the default) but I haven't
tried the other offerings in that drop down list. (Bicubic, Bilinear,Pixel
Resize and Weighted Average lol just in case anyone is wondering) and then
saving it as a jpg (rather than the psp image).

In ULead's PhotoImpact I save all my efforts as I progress as .ufo, that's
the one specific to PI and saves every iota to file.
Your prog will give you options of what to save it as, choose the one with
the least loss. If there's one that is peculiar to the prog then use that.

That .ufo must be peculiar to PhotoImpact (which I don't have) as it wasn't
an option I could see on here. How do you *know* which has the least loss,
other than by trial and error? There are so many options.

In PI I can save jpgs at from 0% to 100%. Never tried the 0% but the 100% is
no where as detailed as the ufo. You can actually see the difference on
screen.

Hmm that's interesting. I've tried so many different settings it gets hard
to remember which were good and which rubbish, lol.

Remember it's only the final version you want to be easily downloadable
until then you're interested in how to get the best image.
Added to that, certificates can be finally saved in greyscale if you have
the option - you get a lot clearer prints with small file sizes.

I have tried greyscale and agree for some things they seem clearer but for
this particular certificate, colour seems to be best.

Keep at it, you *can* do it ;-)

Yes but remembering what I did next time around is the hardest part lol.
(notes being taken though)
