Title: Resizing
Post by: tysonrss on 2011-12-30 06:33:42

Does anyone know of a good way of resizing an image, whether small or bigger without it losing it's quality? Well, I use GameMaker to resize smaller without it losing quality, but when making things bigger, like a sprite, it gets out if hand and I've tried everything...

The problem with resizing an image larger is there is no more information to use to make the image look good at a larger size. Some companies have developed algorithms to try and generate information from the original image but they are subpar at best. Take a look at Perfect Resize from onOne software. It is what was used for the field background upscaling.

It's funny that they all say that the image doesn't lose quality. Perfect Resize said that on their site.

I tried Reshade, and it did no different than what I'm used to. I also tried converting a file to vector, enlarging, and converting back to PNG and still, it didn't look right.

I'll youtube this program and see if it does the job..

I found a little trick.

Inlarge the image, then press Alt+PrintScreen, and copy that into a new image.

It's useful for me since I want to use Tales of sprites in my RMXP game.
