I am shamed to say, I have been working with digital images for a few years and it's only today that I realized the way I was downsampling images was wrong. The resampling option in Photoshop is set to "bicubic" by default and is said to be the mode that gives the best results. So I just believed what was said and neve r looked any further. But when downsampling to a small JPG, the results were awf ul and whatever method I used to add some sharpness, it never gave a fine faithf ul image of what I had in the big file. So today for the first time I tried the "bilinear" mode and to my great relief, the results are way better. After adding some unsharp masking with the "Ultra Sharpen2.0" script by Robert Barnett and I ckybits.com (kindly suggested in another thread), I could do with the quality al though I'm sure it could be better. What are your tricks for fine, detailed JPGs and perhaps your experiences with other softwares (Genuine Fractals..)? Thanks !
