Web Sharpening with Photoshopby `manyk

Scraps

Here is the PDF verison of the article which was posted on DeviantArt here.

This should print fine on most printers using 8.5"x11" paper. There are 7 pages altogether.

April 27 2011 Update
I have included the action file in the zip with the pdf. There is no longer an external link for download from within the pdf.

Hello, have you thought of adding the option to do some pre blur before resizing to combat moire in problematic shots?

`manyk Feb 14, 2006

Short answer, no. The reason is because the action is supposed to give us a sharper final web image with more perceived detail. Blurring before the resample would be 'counter-productive'.

For images that would display moire or stepping with my action, like images of venetian blinds, I would use a two-step downsample ... depending on the original pixel dimensions of the image. This is where a more trial and error approach comes to play. More user intervention is required.

Let's say the image is 3500x2300 pixels, you run my action on it and the final image shows moire or stepping that is simply unacceptable. What I would do is go back to the original "Before Manyk SRS" stage in the history palette.
Then I would resize the image to 50% [1750x1150 pixels], using bicubic interpolation, before running my action on it.
Then, run the action on the 1750x1150 pixel image.

You should notice an improvement to the moire with this process ... without losing detail. If it's not quite enough, try 2 steps of 75% resizing before running my action.
