I was doing a little reading last night about sharpening/noise reduction and the author pointed out something I hadn't been taking into consideration - When you resize your images, all your sharpening and noise reduction goes out the window. And the more I understand the process of sharpening and noise reduction, the more I see what he's talking about
I've been doing it the simple way by using Microsoft Office and hit "resize" but I'm beginning to wonder if that's a bad way to resize our images. I then tried using Photoshop but the resulting images were extremely small even when I tried to reproduce that same parameters I was using with MS Office.
So this brings me to my question - what is the best way to resize your images? And what are others using to shrink their images before up-loading them to Nikonites. And do any of you re-sharpen their images after you resize them? Is there an easy way that will always produce that same sized images that works better than MS Office?
TIA
