What are some ways to resize a layer in Photoshop without losing quality?
You can’t. If you resize smaller, you obviously lose resolution.If you resize larger, you also lose resolution, though that may be less obvious to the casual user.When resizing smaller, the apparent quality tends to be undiminished.When resizing larger, the apparent quality is also diminished, but you need to be more observant.Any operation that causes pixels to be “resampled” results in a loss of image resolution, and thus quality.This is one reason why smart objects work well. The number of resamplings tends to be reduced.Leaving your original images unedited and minimizing the number of resampling operations, such as scaling, distortions, resizing, and filters will tend to produce higher quality images. Get from point A to point B in as few steps as possible, using the most direct steps.
Resizing problems in Adobe Photoshop CC - Making large images smaller without ruining the quality?
I have Adobe's latest version of Photoshop - I got it with the Lightroom deal. I'm trying to resize screencaps from movies to make a collage like this --> http://40.media.tumblr.com/dc308a601ed35eee7be853f2479634d0/tumblr_msbnjvg4et1r5gozfo1_500.png My problem is the screencaps are about 1920 x 816 and I need to reduce them way down, to about 250 x 135 so I can fit them together, but the quality goes way down and the images look pixelated. If I cut the size in half (to 960 x 408) the quality is fine, but when I try to go any smaller the quality is done for. Does anyone have any advice or know of any tutorials that can help with this problem?
How do I create an A2 size file in Photoshop CS6 and resize the picture to the A2 size?
The numbers and method depends on the required resolution for your purpose.I guess you have some simple photo, taken by an ordinary camera, and now want it scaled to a poster print ? Ask your printer about the screening resolution of the output. If it’s for a simple blow-up as a banner for inside or outside promotion or decoration, the resolution can be as low as 30 to 60 dpi. If it’s going to be a fine-art photographic print which will be viewed from a short distance (like a photo in your room), then the resolution needs to be something between 200 to 400 dpi.You can open your picture in Photoshop, and check/set the numbers in the Image Size command under the Image menu. An A2 size is 420 x 594 mm. In the example below you can see how it would work for an image at such a high (400 dpi) resolution:If you look carefully, you can see I started out with an image that was too small for this purpose to begin with (only 1,11 MB). So at 400 dpi, this enlargement will absolutely result in blurry pixels !! The scaling factor is too much, there are not enough pixels in the picture to remain detailed at that size for that purpose.But the example below at 60 dpi is technically very well possible:So the more pixels your picture has to begin with, the more demanding purposes (larger sizes and a higher dpi) you can achieve with it. Your mileage will vary…

Use tool Liquify filter. Liquify filter overview The Liquify filter lets you push, pull, rotate, reflect, pucker, and bloat any area of an image. The distortions you create can be subtle or drastic, which makes the Liquify command a powerful tool for retouching images as well as creating artistic effects. The Liquify filter can be applied to 8‑bits-per-channel or 16‑bits per-channel images. Distorting an image using the Liquify filter Tools, options, and an image preview for the Liquify filter are available in the Liquify dialog box. To display the dialog box, choose Filter > Liquify. In CS6, select Advanced Mode to access more options.
