and detail from the original image when you resample. Select from the following resampling
options:
◦ Nearest Neighbor: A fast but less precise method that replicates the pixels in an
image. This method is for use with illustrations that contain edges that are not anti-
aliased, to preserve hard edges and produce a smaller file. However, this method can
produce jagged effects, which become apparent when you distort or scale an image or
perform multiple manipulations on a selection.
◦ Bilinear: A method that adds pixels by averaging the color values of surrounding
pixels. It produces medium-quality results.
◦ Bicubic: A slower but more precise method based on an examination of the values of
surrounding pixels. Using more complex calculations, Bicubic produces smoother tonal
gradations than Nearest Neighbor or Bilinear.
◦ Bicubic Smoother: A good method for enlarging images based on Bicubic
interpolation but designed to produce smoother results
◦ Bicubic Sharper: A good method for reducing the size of an image based on Bicubic
interpolation with enhanced sharpening. This method maintains the detail in a
resampled image. If Bicubic Sharper oversharpens some areas of an image, try using
Bicubic.
