TLR Image Resizer for Photoshop CS

A Photoshop CS action set for adjusting the size of your digital images. The action set is based on a technique known to advanced Photoshop users. If you increase the size of an image in small increments, the artifacts are reduced, making it possible, in many cases, to enlarge digital images to poster size and still have a sharp image.

The action set is an expanded version of my action set for Photoshop 7.0 and contains several actions, including:

Stepwise Upsize increases an image by 10% with Bicubic interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
Stepwise Upsize Smoother increases an image by 10% with the new Bicublic Smoother interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
Stepwise Downsize decreases an image by 10% with Bicubic interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
Stepwise Upsize Sharper decreases an image by 10% with the new Bicublic Sharper interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
100% Upsize doubles an image by 10% steps with Bicubic interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
100% Upsize Smoother doubles an image by 10% steps with the new Bicublic Smoother interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
50% Downsize halves an image by 10% steps with Bicubic interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
50% Downsize Sharper halves an image by 10% steps with the new Bicublic Sharper interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
180 DPI to 240 DPI increases resolution by 10% steps with Bicubic interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
180 DPI to 240 DPI Smoother increases resolution by 10% steps with the new Bicublic Smoother interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
240 DPI to 300 DPI increases resolution by 10% steps with Bicubic interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.
240 DPI to 300 DPI increases resolution by 10% steps with the new Bicublic Smoother interpolation. Can be run multiple times to achieve the desired size.

 

This action also includes actions for a final resize to a desired size for various sizes of photographic enlargement:

4x6 11x17 A2
5x7 12x18 A3
8x10 16x20 A4
8x12 20x24 A5
11x14 20x30 A6

The Crop Tool and Marquee Tool presets from The Light's Right Studio are the perfect complement to this action set. You can use the tool presets to presize your images for the standard enlargements.
