Resampling for printing, revisited, 5

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Jim

What’s it all mean? Unfortunately, for those of us who just want a simple answer, the results of this testing indicates that one size doesn’t fit all. The Photoshop bicubic sharper algorithm seems to be better than anything for the … Continue reading →

Resampling for printing, revisited 4

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Jim

What with stitching and 20+ megapixel backs, sometimes you have to res an image down to print it. I tested all four algorithms on a 480 ppi image resampled down to 360 ppi. Instead of using bicubic smoother in Photoshop, … Continue reading →

Resampling for printing, revisited 3

Posted on June 22, 2011 by Jim

The next set of images is res’ed up from 330 ppi to 360 ppi. With some resampling techniques, notably and egregiously nearest neighbor, resampling with resolutions that are close together yields obvious objectionable artifacts. As before, the results are followed … Continue reading →

Resampling for printing, revisited 2

This next set of images is based on a 240 ppi target scaled to the 360 ppi printer resolution. Because the target is the same 150 pixel on a side target, the images on paper are somewhat smaller. Here are … Continue reading →
