When scaling smaller images larger, the images get soft and a bit blurry.

This means that changing the size of an image always changes the image quality.

“Down-res” means to make a large image smaller, such as from 4K to HD, or HD to SD.Īll video images are composed of bitmaps rows and columns of pixels that are fixed in size, creating a fixed image resolution. “Up-res” means to make a small image larger such as from SD to HD, or HD to 4K. “Resize” and “Scale” both mean to change the size of an image. NOTE: The process of resizing an image has multiple names. (Read that article here.) This week, I want to talk about the same process using Adobe Media Encoder. Last week, I wrote about how to use Apple Compressor to resize video between HD and SD.
