Zoom Out For Sharper Web Images

 

This is a tip we use almost daily when we have to greatly reduce the size and/or resolution of an image. Sometimes when you make a drastic size/resolution change, it can really make the resulting image blurry, so what we do is simply zoom out on the image so that the window and image are at either 50% or 25% view. Then, we take a screen capture of our image window at the new smaller size. That way, the image still looks sharp, but it’s much smaller when we open the screen capture in Photoshop. The trick to making this work is using either a 50%, 25%, or 12.5% view size for making the capture. If you view the image at 66.7%, 33.3%, or 16.7%, the image won’t be as crisp (because of the way Photoshop draws the image at those views).

Google 3D Warehouse

Photoshop CS3 Extended’s new 3D capabilities make it easy to modify models created in other 3D programs. However, there are some that may not have a 3D modeling program. Google has introduced the Google 3D Warehouse, which is a library of free 3D models you can import directly into Photoshop and manipulate using the available 3D tools. Here is the site: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse.
