Resize Magic Review

Mark Goldstein | Software | May 17, 2003 | 1 Comments

If you post images on the web and resize them down from their original dimensions, you may have noticed that the resulting image is often, well, a bit blurry and not that sharp. Photo-i have just reviewed the Resize Magic plug-in for Photoshop which “is designed to reduce images with the maximum quality too. It’s hard to believe, but Photoshop and similar programs are really weak when they reduce the size of images: if you reduce a lot you obtain a blurred image. Most resizing plug-ins and programs do not create good images when reducing, too.” Read Photo-i’s review to decide if this specialized software is for you.

While I've not used this particular plug-in, I have developed a technique (which can be programmed as an action) for downsampling images for use in image database, websites, etc. Anyone that is interested is welcome to visit (http://www.ControlledVocabulary.com/imagedatabases/downsampling.html) and compare the results.
