Lanczos Produces the sharpest images, but may also introduce
some ringing artifacts. If your images look fuzzy after
resizing, use the Sharpen tool to smooth them.
Mitchell Produces smooth transitions. The Mitchell filter is a good
compromise between the ringing effect of Lanczos and
the blurring effect of other filters. The Mitchell filter is an
excellent choice for photo-realistic images, when used in
conjunction with the Sharpen tool. The Mitchell filter is a
good choice when enlarging images.
Resize recommendations
To maintain image quality when resizing your images, reduce the images by 33%
or 50% only. Any other percentage can distort the aspect ratio.
Do not resize an image repeatedly. Each time you resize an image, the pixels of
the image are placed using a slightly different orientation. Therefore, repeated
resizing can change the overall color and appearance of the image.
It is recommended that you do not increase the size of an image. Increasing the
size of an image makes the image’s pixels more apparent.
