Description

UF4 When I render and save in large BMP format and then resize and sharpen in PSP and save as JPG I lose a lot of clarity. Does anyone know how I can avoid this please? What am I doing wrong?

I don't save mine in bmp in UF. I save them as jpegs. jpeg files cover more colors than bmp files, and that's why they look better. I learned that a long time ago when I was doing other sorts of graphics. Hope this info helps. This is a real beauty Jenny! V (: OH! Please write me. OE messed up and I lost my address book. ): xooxox's

I also save as jpegs in UF..and then I add an "a" or a "2" to the file name, so it's not replaced but saved as a new image. Technically, I don't know if it makes a diff. Downsizing always results in diminishing detail or clarity. Saving a bmp image as a jpg really shouldn't make a huge difference, but I find that it darkens the image just a tad. I do that in Terragen. As for your posted image, I think the design details are fantastic, and I like the royal blue with the avacado. Beautiful and excellent!

A quite good trick and that many times I use as much in fractals as in designs in 3D, it is to make the following thing, if the final measure in which I want that my work is in for example 800x600 pixels, the render makes it in 3200x2400, saving the file like bmp, then I load it in PSP and I give him the measure in 800x600 and I save as jpg, the loss of details is much smaller to be the original of a bigger size, it is logical that if you have the file bmp in 800x600 and then it saves him as bmp, the loss of details will be much bigger, I hope this serves him. Excellent and very creative fractalwork Jenny....!!!

A beautiful fractal and nice coloring. I make my fractals 2 or 3 times as large as I want the finished image. I save as a PNG file. I do NOT check antialiasing when I save as PNG. Then I downsize in ACDSee and sometimes slightly sharpen and then save as JPG. Everyone has their own way of preserving detail. It takes some experimenting.
