How to Upsize an Image: A Guide for Photo Editing Software

If you want to upsize your new stock image in photo editing software like Photoshop or other platforms, there are a few key steps to keep in mind. Here’s a quick instructional guide to help you successfully upsize an image, no matter which software you prefer.

1. Download the Maximum File Size
When purchasing an image from a stock library like 17吃瓜在线, ensure that you download the maximum file size available. This guarantees that you get the largest version of the image, providing the utmost flexibility for resizing.

Upon downloading your purchased image from 17吃瓜在线, you’ll encounter various size options. Always choose the largest size available for the best results.

2. Open the Image in Your Photo Editing Software
Images are often downloaded in a compressed format, resulting in a smaller file size. Don’t worry if your newly purchased image appears to be only a few megabytes. Simply open the image in your preferred photo editing software, and it will be restored to the maximum file size.

3. Resize the Image
Resizing an image involves considerations for resolution and detail preservation. As you enlarge an image, pixelation may occur, leading to a loss of detail. For large-scale projects like billboards, where viewing occurs from a distance, images can afford to contain less intricate details than smaller-scale projects.

Using Photoshop (Latest Update):
Step 1: Navigate to ‘Image’ and then ‘Image Size.’
Step 2: Choose how you want to input the width and height (options include percent, pixels, centimeters, etc.).
Step 3: Enter your measurements, select the ‘Preserve Detail (Enlargement)’ option from the drop-down list, and adjust the ‘Reduce Noise’ bar to your preferred setting. Click ‘OK’ to complete the process.

Pro Tip: Assess the quality impact by comparing the original image with the newly upsized version. If the image loses too much detail or appears too blurry, consider using a vector file for large-scale projects.
