Improved Image Size and Smart Sharpen in Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop

The video below demonstrates two new technologies in Photoshop that can help you to get the highest possible quality out of your image. The first is found in Image size where you can not only expand the preview but also utilize the new edge preserving algorithm when you select the Preserve Details (enlargement) option for Resampling. Note, this option is also used when the image is upscaled and the Resampling option is set to Automatic.

The second technology refines the way that we sharpen images using the Smart Sharpen Filter. Notice the reduced noise in the image, especially in the shadow areas as you compare the current technology to the legacy algorithm (tap the ā€œLā€ key to toggle between them).
Note: I cover the features above approximately 6 minutes into the video.
