Hi everyone,
My question involves taking a that was already taken by someone and resampling it to the size I desire ( 600×675 ) for this particular webpage.

What is the best tool you guys have seen in terms of resampling and getting quality + the size you desire?

I have used on of the latest photoshops and the sampling was pretty good but not exactly what I wanted.
The size was exact.

Is it a matter of not being able to use a picture that is already taken i.e. it must come straight from the camera raw? Then the resample and size will work much better?

Thanks!
David

Hi.

I would have expected someone from an Institute of Technology to have access to sources of information which might nearly be as good as this group.

There can be problems when dealing with 3rd party images, but really only if they are jpegs.

If jpegs, you don’t know how often they have already been compressed and "saved" or resampled and "saved". You might not even know if they have already been "saved for web".

Every "saving" after pixel work will have implications on quality.

There comes a point when just that one more "save", by you as webmaster, can move the image from reasonable quality to rubbish quality.

You don’t need to go back to the in-camera file, and certainly not to the RAW version, but the fewer "saves" which have been applied, the better.

If you can get a "near original" copy, then you should then be able to resample, crop and "save for web" just once and still retain its good quality.

Sampling up is usually unsuccessful. IMHO, there is a product that does it better than Photoshop’s Image Size. Surf for "Alien Skin Blowup". That’s a big IMHO!

Straight from camera RAW is good. TIFF is good. JPEG is an unknown because we can’t see what compression level was used, nor can we see the kinds of color and color-spans there are.

Gee, I hope isn’t spamming us. In fact,
does not even look like a typical Georgia Tech user

But just in case the spam harvest bots miss it, let me be clear that the perp is:
