Re: OT: Reducing an image\'s size in Photoshop without reducing quality
[ QUOTE ]
When you say reduce the size, I presume you are talking about bytes and not dimensions. By the very nature of images, more detail requires more bytes. It also depends on what you're coming from. If you're reducing the size of a JPG, you should know that JPG uses lossy compression, meaning each time you open it up and save it again, you LOSE quality. If the dimensions are what you want, you're in a bind. You can reduce DPI as low as 72 (if it is going to be displayed on a computer screen - but not for printout). Other than that, save it as a JPG with the lowest quality setting that you think has an acceptable quality. That's about all you can do.

I knew i phrased that question badly.
No, I'm talking about reducing the DIMENSIONS of a picture. For example, I'm trying to reduce the height of a card from 77 pixels to 70 pixels, and when I do that, the edges of the digits on the card get all fuzzy and somewhat distorted, even with that small a change. Any tips for reducing the dimensions of a picture without that happening?
