Sharpening Tools
How to increase the number of pixels in a picture or make a smaller resized picture sharper?
I have 606 x 377 pixels in one of my pictures and when I print it out it comes out quite clear. However I need a much smaller version of this picture. So when I resize it to 243 x 153 pixels and print it out it becomes very fuzzy and blurry. What other ways are there that make the image sharper besides using a sharpening tool?
When you change the size of an image, the program you use has to guess what the smaller image looks like, because it doesn't have as much room to display details. The process of altering images to look correct after resizing is known as "resampling", and is a field in itself.
The most popular algorithms for resampling can be done by most high-end image editing programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, include nearest neighbor, bilinear, and bicubic. Since it really depends on the kind of picture you are resizing, I'd recommend just trying all the resampling options your program offers, although bicubic tends to be the best for pictures.
If there's no option that fits your needs you'll have to either find a program especially for image resizing, or touch it up yourself. Making the image sharper with a sharpening tool, in my experience, usually doesn't help very much.
