We usually like to remove wires but i want them.

How do i avoid them getting 'choppy'? Its seems to happen after I resize the photo to dpc regulations.

Any suggestions?
Thanks :)

make sure you 'constrain propprtions' when you resize.

don't over sharpen the image - or selectively sharpen - avoiding the wires.

When you resize do you use bicubic sharper? If so use either bicubic or bicubic smoother. You may want to resize it twice using the sharper version and the smoother version and combining the two then you can use a layer mask to erase the sharper parts (i.e. where the wires are) while maintaining the sharpness elsewhere.

Don't sharpen the image before resizing. Always make sharpening your last step in the workflow, otherwise you can end up with jagged edges after resizing.

Thanks for the tips, layer masking helped a lot, so did the use of sharpen after resize!
. Come to think of it wires come out choppy on the original photo very often when they are against certain backgrounds
