Resizing Photos and Retaining Crispness Greetings: I have posted a couple of photos in the photo contests and I noticed that when I view them online they seem blurry and not as sharp as they do on my screen prior to resizing the image in Photoshop. All I do is resize the image to the parameters acceptable by BP and don't change anything else. Any suggestions?

Go to your PS preferences and set your image interpolation to "bicubic sharper." That will maintain sharpness when downsizing for the Web. Check out Ben Willmore and Jack Davis's book, How to Wow: Photoshop for Photography. It's a bible of digital imaging for photographers!

Tony, Thank you for your reply. I will give that a try. Thanks for the tip on the book as well!

Tony, I tried that but I don't think it works with Elements 3.0. Is it just the CS version?

Mike: Bicubic Sharper is available with Elements 3.0. Resize > see the little box near the bottom of the palette. It shows Bicubic. That's actually a menu that also allows you to select Bicubic Sharper. Peter Burian

I do not know if it is too late to get in on this discussion. I sumbitted my first photo today at BP. Only one. My thumnail shows the poor single image way to the right side,touching the sprocket icon. Then when going to my gallery and seeing the image, it is blurry. My original was scanned in at 55MB, I went to image size and plugged in a new size on the duplicated image, close to the 750x500, and change the dpi to 72. The image came out about 256kb. I see better photo will take up to 1MB or so. Where did I go wrong? Any suggestions? Thanks,
