I need help. I am preparing a photo for Black & White II. The picture needs to be resized (1958 x 1958 pixels, 427 KB), but when I do it, the lines in the picture become pixelated on the edges. Is there any way to avoid this, or smooth it out (and still be acceptable according to the basic rules)?

What program are you using? How are you resizing?

If you're using Photoshop there's a tutorial on it here.

Thanks Ann,
"Save for Web" in Photoshop made a huge difference in the appearance of my picture. Before, I was using Picture It. Most of the time I had no problems, but some of the pictures had very bad pixelization of contrasting lines after resizing and saving them. I can not understand why it was happening since almost identical photos (in size and subject) were giving me very different outcomes!

No problem. Some times it's just weird that way. I know when I'd save a photo with more red in it I would get more pixelization and jaggies in Paint Shop Pro 8, but I had no problem in photoshop. It can also depend on how it was resized, what type of sharpening you used, and of course, how it was saved. ^_^ I'm glad it worked!
