HP Designjet Z6100 Printer Series - User's Guide

Constrain Proportions: Select this option if you want to preserve height-to-width ratio of
your original image
Resample Image: When an image is resampled, an interpolation method is used to assign
color values to any new pixels that Photoshop creates, based on the color values of existing
pixels in the image. Photoshop uses sophisticated methods to preserve the quality and detail
from the original image when you resample. Select from the following resampling options:
Nearest Neighbor: A fast but less precise method that replicates the pixels in an image.
This method is for use with illustrations that contain edges that are not anti-aliased, to
preserve hard edges and produce a smaller file. However, this method can produce
jagged effects, which become apparent when you distort or scale an image or perform
multiple manipulations on a selection.
Bilinear: A method that adds pixels by averaging the color values of surrounding pixels.
It produces medium-quality results.
Bicubic: A slower but more precise method based on an examination of the values of
surrounding pixels. Using more complex calculations, Bicubic produces smoother tonal
gradations than Nearest Neighbor or Bilinear.
Bicubic Smoother: A good method for enlarging images based on Bicubic interpolation
but designed to produce smoother results
Bicubic Sharper: A good method for reducing the size of an image based on Bicubic
interpolation with enhanced sharpening. This method maintains the detail in a resampled
image. If Bicubic Sharper oversharpens some areas of an image, try using Bicubic.
