  • when reducing the size of an image, how to keep clarity?

    Posted by Joe Daniels on April 24, 2009 at 4:55 pm

    I need to take several large images, reduce them down to a montage, but I need to keep the clarity. How do I go about doing this? Currently in CS3 and CS4 I have done this:

    I have gone to edit>preferences>general settings and set the Image Interpolation to Bicubic Sharper (best for reduction) setting and really didnt notice a difference.

    Any thoughts?

    To be honest, your best results will be using another program (like Photoshop) to resize the images to your project size, so that when you import them PPro does not have to do any resizing.

    Cheers

    Hi Joe,
    I just had to deal with the same issue on a wedding video I did.
    It’s a simple fix. Click on edit up in the tool bar. Then click on Preferences, then click on General. About half down in the General preference box click and check the box that says; “Default scale to frame size”. Now click ok and close the general preference box.
    Now you’ll have to re-import the same image or clip again into your project. Your orignal asset will still be there. But you’ll have a duplicate image or clip that is now sized for this project.

    Good luck

    Mel
