Differences between Bicubic, Bilinear, Nearest Neighbor ?

4970 views2 repliesLast post: 2/15/2004
When resizing a Jpg, there is an option to "Resample Image." The choices are Bicubic, Bilinear, and Nearest Neighbor.

When applying each, I don't see much of a difference in the final resized image.

What are the values of each option, and is one "better" than the others.?

Thanks, Gene

That means that when you change the resolution, Photoshop apply differents algorythmns to "re-create"the pixels, Bicubic means that the algorythmn calculate the mean of the values of the 8 pixels surounding the "new" one to create it. Bilinear means that it takes the 2 pixels surounding.
the nearest one means...guess...

hope my explanation isn't too messy...

Sounds like 'nearest' would be most like original pic.
