Learnt a handy resizing trick for pictures.

**PHOTOSHOP:**

After resizing your image

1. Duplicate the layer.

2. Apply a “High Pass” filter with a setting of around 1

3. Set the layers blending mode to “Hard Light”

Detail is restored.

\*It’s hard to show the difference, you’ll have to see it work to believe it.

Enjoy.

i did this, and it looked to me like all it did was make the picture a little bit grainier.
