You know...everybody talks about resizing images to make them larger for printing (upsampling), but not many talk about resizing an image for web viewing - usually smaller size or downsampling. While reading up on star interpolation, I came upon a really great article on a technique to downsample from film scanner resolutions (either 4000dpi or 2700 dpi scanners) for viewing on the web. I've only tried this technique once, but it appears to do a phenomenal job at keeping fine detail in while it's reducing the size. The really cool thing is that it only uses standard photoshop tools and filters (mainly USM and Image Size)to do it. I am very much impressed with this. The URL above is the link to the article. -=>Donald
