I have been using photoshop for years for my blog. I only do image resizing under 300px to ensure quality. But recently, I'm having a hard time resizing photos (downsizing) without it being blurred even the photos are from High Resolution. That holds me back from optimizing the photos so recently I'm posting it on its original size.

The size I'm resizing it to are as follows:

Post photos: Max Width 757px ; Height adjustable to the width so long as the width is 757;

Some photos for collage: withd of 360px ; Height adjustable to the width so long as the width is 360; and

Feature: 372 x 416px

It made me think of cancelling my subscription because of the stress. But I was hoping to get response though.

This has nothing to do with Photoshop. It has to do with how many pixels you have in your image.

If you have a retina screen, web browsers and consumer-level image viewers will scale up images so that one image pixel is represented by four physical screen pixels. This is the industry-standard workaround so that the same material can be used regardless of what screen technology the user happens to have.

I used the same method as I was using it before. I tried downsizing through a Canva in comparison and its way better with the same sizing. I was trying to replicate it in photoshop and I don't know why the smart objects and sharpen still don't work. I understand that resizing from low to large will pixelate but large to small shouldn't pixelate that much.

Blurry downsizing in Photoshop often results from improper resampling settings. To retain sharpness, use Bicubic Sharper in the resampling option when resizing images. After resizing, apply a slight Smart Sharpen filter to enhance the details. Also, ensure your images are in RGB mode at 72 DPI for web optimization. If issues persist, check your export settings, ensuring you're saving in a high-quality format like PNG or high-resolution JPEG. These steps should help maintain quality and optimize your workflow without frustration.

Hello, thanks for your response. I tried the steps but it is still too blurry even after comparing it from old of my photos with similar sizing though it is resized based from the old version of photoshop. The new version is really frustrating.
