I’m creating a montage for printing. Final output will be 20wX30h with 7 images from top to bottom. The canvas size is 8000×12000 at 400 ppi. My images are all panoramas and wider than 8000 at the same ppi resolution.
As I see it, I have two options for bringing the 7 source images into the new canvas, and proportionally resizing them to fit. My source images are already cropped how I want them.
1) Open the source image,
resize w/bicubic-sharper resample down to 8000 pixels wide select all
copy
paste into new layer in new canvas
repeat for all source images
or
2) Open the source image
select all
copy
paste into new layer in new canvas(will be too big to fit) edit / transform / scale
"drag" it until the width is down to 8000 width repeat for all source images
From an image quality perspective, which will give me the better output? I understand what is happening when i resize and resample to make the image smaller, but I dont understand what is happening when I transform it to the smaller size. Is this just a "magic" resampling with no control over how?
Is there a different way that would work better than either of these two options?
Thanks in advance for any explanation.
