I frequently shrink down large images for online photo galleries. What I want to know is, when I tell photoshop, et al, to shrink my image to a certain size/percentage, will it retain better quality if I use round percentages like 25%, 50%, etc, or does it make no difference?
Answer
This wholly depends on the resampling method you have Photoshop use. The default ‘Bicubic Automatic’ should yield very good results, independent from the reduction percentage.
