Re: OT: Reducing File Size with Photoshop

The file size change preference in General Preferences. I think 
everyone knows how to set those. The default is "Bicubic Better."  
"Bicubic Smoother" seems to give better interpolation when upsizing. 
I'm not certain, but I think it's irrelevant when downsizing. However, 
getting back to Shel's question, one step downsizing is better than a 
mutitude of steps. The same is reportedly true of upsizing 
(interpolation).

how does it not being Bicubic since that is the default and newbies

even know where to go to change it?

Some people on the digital darkroom forum have experimented with this
and found that doing it in one step is superior to a lot of small
steps. Make sure your PS preference for file size changes is set to
"Bicubic Smoother." That appears to be the best choice in most cases.
(That's probably more important for increasing file size.)
