When rescaling an image the quality of the result depends on the scale factor.
The wximgsz program suggests new width/height combinations and evaluates the scale factors.
Use your favourite bitmap graphics editor to do the scale operation.
Factor evaluation | Scale factor |
---|---|
Minimum | When applying the same scale factor to width andheight both new width and height must be integer numbers. |
Better | If the scale factor used to decrease or increase an image is an integer the resulting image quality typically is better than using a fraction as scale factor. |
Best | Some programs produce best results when the scale factor used to increase or decrease an image is a power of 2. |
In the upper left corner enter width and height of the original image.
In the lower left corner first choose an action to perform:
Selection | Purpose |
---|---|
Decrease image | Calculate all width/height combinations to decrease the image. |
Width range | Calculate width/height combinations fitting into a specified width range. Enter the width range minimum and maximum below. |
Height range | Calculate width/height combinations fitting into a specified height range. Enter the height range minimum and maximum below. |
Use the "Calculate new image sizes" button in the center of the window.
The results are shown in the grid table on the right side. Each result is shown in a line: width, height and scale factor.
The scale factor quality is shown by the background colour or a quality symbol (use menu item "Extras" → "Options" to toggle).
Colour | Quality symbol | Scale factor quality |
---|---|---|
Green | ++ | Powers of 2. |
Yellow | + | Other integer scale factors. |
Red | All other scale factors. |
This program uses DK libraries version 3.
