|
|
I want to create a lot of drawing images, each one in four different sizes. 1.320 x 480 , 2. 640 x 960 , 3. 1024 x 748 , 4. 2048 x 1536 a. Shall I draw every size (four of them) from the beginning? b. Shall I draw 2 sizes 640 x 960 and 2048 x 1536 and resize the other two two? c. Shall I draw the first one in high resolution 2048 x 1536 and then resize the rest 3 or the other way round? |

Yes, draw the highest resolution first and then make the smaller copies.
If you do it the other way around then it will lose quality. |

So, in that way, from highest resolution to smaller copies, will not lose quality at all? |

Yep, higher resolution reduced to lower resolution. |

It's a common mistake that scaling down doesn't effect image quality. It does!
In fact - ANY transformation worsens image quality... It effectively blurs the image!
Think of it this way:
When you scale up you add a third pixel between the two neighboring original pixels - some weighed mean of the two, hence the blurring.
When you scale down you replace two neighboring original pixels with one, again - some weighed mean of the two, thus, again, you get the blurring.
Try to make your workflow so that you wouldn't have to resize anything at all.
Or, at least you wouldn't have to resize something more then once. Smart objects can help you here. |
