When you resize the image gets fuzzy as GIMP tries to squeeze the image into a smaller space. Play with the "Unsharp Mask" tool to sharpen it again. It can be found at Filters->Enhance->Unsharp Mask. Settings to try: 0.1, 0.50, 4, but in general, if you really notice the sharpening then you've done too much!

Photos from my camera are huge in Gimp, so
I use Scale Image to get them small enough to
fit into a photo frame.  Am I losing picture quality
when I Scale image to make it smaller?  If so, is
there a way to reduce an image without losing
quality?
Helen, using jpeg image format on Gimp 2.2.4
