You are correct; it should not effect the sharpening per se, although it may alter the perception of the sharpening. When you resize without resampling, you are only changing the effective resolution but not the actual resolution. In short if you make the image larger, you are not decreasing the number of pixels in the file but merely spreading them out further so as to have fewer per inch but not fewer in the image file. When you resample, you are changing the overall number of pixels in the image file.
Typically, such resizing or even resampling does not lessen the sharpening making it softer for all practical purposes; but resampling can and often does create artifacts which resizing alone does not. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nagaraj, Ramesh Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 12:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [filmscanners] OT: Resizing without resampling I have document that is color corrected and sharpened. Adobe's Image size dialogbox has "Pixel size" and "Document size". After sharpening, I am using "Image size"->"Document size"(with Resample checkbox off) to change the width, height and resolution without resampling. My questions are *Does this documennt still hold the sharpening? *Should I have done resizing before sharpening? I do not have backup of color corrected images. Here I am changing the width, height and resolution without resampling; my understanding is this only adds some metadata to document. I think sharpening will get retained after this resizing. I am doing this for printing, pls confirm whether my understanding is right.
