Why does the quality get worse after i worked with the photo in Pixel image Mixer or ps?? Is there a save rule?? I´ve heard u should save your photo under "tiff" and so but still i´m doing something wrong because my photo looks alot worse (quality) after i worked with it..
Does it matter when you make the photo smaller how big it was?
Any help would be great.
thanks...... |

You should work in tiff right up to the final step, which should be saving as a jpg. Also I find, along with the rest of your workflow, adding a shot of USM (for me it's usually 125%, 0.3 Radius, 1 Threshold) after you resize. Then save as jpg.

| Try to use 'save for web' in PhotoShop when saving. |

| Is USM a part of PS? If so, ois there a parallel in other programs, possibly? Thank you! |

The quality of your image will always be worse when resized downward for DPC.
Orussell's advice to do all work in .tiff then save the final image in .jpg is best because it avoids .jpg artifacting after every save plus it has other advantageous as well. His suggestion for USM is also good too. 100%, 0.3 radius, and 0 threshold seems to work best for me with images resized to 640 pixels but if that is too much I drop back to 200%, 0.2 radius and 0 threshold and go from there.

Ditto with Owen and Steve. Although I've never tried working in .tiff and then shifting to .jpg just at the end. Will that allow me to have cleaner shots?

Yes because each time you save as a jpg a certain amount of compression is introduced.
