She was very good too. SOOC

Best use I've seen for one of those cheapy MiC POS tripods! Great expression!

Thanks. The non scaled down version is very sharp. Not sure what I'm doing wrong on uploading. In GIMP, I rescale image from normally (6000 x 4000) to 1200 to 800, export at 100% quality. They seem pixelated. Anyway, I had to crop some of the images slightly because I forgot to out the lens hood (60 macro) back on and it produced a slight black edge on one side of the frame. Won't be doing that again. I assume that was the issue as it was the only thing I did differently.

When you rescale in GIMP there's an option in the dialog box for Interpolation: The default is Cubic which applies sharpening in the scaling process. Consider breaking that up into two steps. Use Linear instead and then sharpen the result yourself after the image has been scaled.

OK but why do I have to do that? Am I doing something wrong or is that just the way to do it?

I just tried it, it made it worse. Personally I do not care but there are a lot of pixel peepers on here

OK, it was a possibility. You are trying to rescale a JPEG so one way or the other you're going to run into that compression grid.

nice framing, jcdeboever.

The default is Cubic which applies sharpening in the scaling process. Consider breaking that up into two steps. Use Linear instead and then sharpen the result yourself after the image has been scaled.

recently discovered how bad using bicubic sharper/automatic in photoshop was messing up my images. pixelation around fine lines like little tree branches. neither plain "bicubic (best for smooth gradients)" nor bilinear give me the same problem.

Thanks. I may try to upload to Flickr, then link it, maybe that would be better. Problem is my internet connection at home is sllllooooooooow. A lot of my flowers are tack sharp until I scale them down, usually the more detail, the worse.

are you using an unsharp mask each step? i'd put more steps between 6000 and 800. like 3000, 1500, then 800. just copying what Ysarex and/or Derrel told me, which creates a solid result. strange that linear would make pixelation worse.

this might be helpful to gain insight into gimp's interpolation options: Comparison of OpenCV Interpolation Algorithms

Thanks, I'll check it out. I am very weak at editing. Most images I post are straight out of camera.

Super job on your framing on this picture! I absolutely love the OOF foreground elements and the way they both force the eye to her and how they frame the edges of the picture area. Fantastic camera work on this. Edge-to-edge, corner-to-corner, everything is well-composed.

Wow! Thanks Derrel
