aj6594 Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 When I take a 1800 pixel wide image and resize down to 150 pixels it becomes pixelated. I'm a noob. Please explain like I am a small child. Please help ! Thanks Quote
pdnnoob Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 You are scruntching 1800 pixels worth of image data into 150 pixels. Of course you're going to lose something!

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 Exactly. You're combining a block of 12 source pixels to get one resized pixel, so you'e going to lose a lot of definition. You could try sharpening the resized image (Effects | Photo | Sharpen).

aj6594 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 Why does an image pixelate when I copy using the Windows "Snipping Tool" and paste into Paint.net ? Quote
