Please can someone tell me what I can do about the following problem? I undertook my first digital photography job yesterday which included an image of a chap working at his new invention. The piece of equipment he is using has a tall, narrow stem. The original file is 30cm by 20cm. The stem on the equipment is then about 3mm wide on the screen. When I reduce the size of the image to something suitable for a web page the stem is very jagged. This doesn't look good at all. What can I do? Is my fledgling career about to hit the buffers? I tried using the smudge tool on it but it looked a mess. Thanks in advance, all those who ride to the rescue. Should I attach a file with this kind of question? marzipanlil

Please do, maybe by seeing the image we can suggest a few pointers. What is the final size/output?? :) retrocity

Also, what resampling method are you using? PS normally does a very good job at downsampling.

Sounds like you need to inverse select those pixels and create a path. Expand it a little and then reduce the size of your image. If there are a lotta BG elements just use the path tool directly... _ _
Must've slipped my mind...but it's the thought that counts...
