DoryanPCosta Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Does anyone know how to resize a picture without making it looked all pixeled? I tried but it doesn't look right so I must be doing something wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 It's not something you're doing wrong. When you resize a raster image (anything made of pixels), the program has to do what is called "resampling." In other words, it must approximate the color of the new pixels based on what you had previously. When you increase the size of the image, the program essentially has to "make up" data that wasn't there before to fill in all those new pixels added, resulting in a blurry or pixelated image.

Red ochre Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 If re-sizing upward (making bigger) the 2D Image filter plugin can sometimes help. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?showtopic=24270 It puts the new image on the clipboard. 'Super Eagle works' quite well. Select File/new. Accept the suggested size then Edit/paste into the new image. If resizing down, slightly sharpening sometimes helps. But what Pdnnoob says is correct regarding making-up new pixel data when upsizing. Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............
