Pixel Joint Forum: Resizing 2x2 to 1x1 without AA garbage?

Message

   Because everything that I've tried (Paint, Photoshop) has horribly mutilated my 2x2 Amiga screenshots (taken in WinUAE).  I have these big, blocky pixels that I want to reduce into single pixels, but they get all antialiased and horrible when I try to put them in their native resolution.  Observe: 

Hideous fringes around everything, and blurry to boot.  Is there a way to resize them without getting this effect?

	You need to use the "Nearest Neighbor" algorithm in Photoshop. Select it in the dropdown below "Resample Image:" In the Image Size dialogue.

	And in paint you need to do ctrl+A (Select all) before ctrl+W (Stretch/Skew) :)

	In paint, you can also select everything and then press CTRL + "-" But indeed, you have to select it. Edited by Lollige - 08 December 2009 at 2:43am
