6. Drag in the preview window to pan so that you can see the glasses.
7. In the Resample menu, choose Bicubic Smoother (Enlargement). The image looks less
rough than it did before.

Note
Your version of Photoshop CC 2019 may display a “Preserve Details 2.0” option in the
Resample menu. This is an upgraded version of Preserve Details provided as a
Technology Preview for comparison with the older Preserve Details option. Use the
option that produces better results for the image you’re scaling up.

The Resample menu includes options that control how to adjust the image for enlargement or
reduction. Automatic is the default and it picks a method based on whether you’re enlarging or
reducing, but you may find that another option might look better depending on the image.


8. With the Resample option still selected, choose Preserve Details (Enlargement) from the
Resample menu.

The Preserve Details option results in a sharper enlargement than Bicubic Smoother, but it has
emphasized the existing noise in the image.


9. Move the Reduce Noise slider to 50 % to smooth the image.

10. Click and hold in the preview window to see the original image, so you can compare it to
the current settings. You can also compare the current settings to the Bicubic Smoother
option by switching between them in the Resample menu. When upscaling or downscaling,
choose the Resample method that produces the best balance between preserving details and
smoothing pixel jagginess, and then use Reduce Noise to remove noise that remains. If the
Reduce Noise value removes too much detail, lower it.
11. Click OK.

Now you’ll paste the image into a feathered selection on the poster.


12. Choose Select > All, and then choose Edit > Copy.
