Hi, my name's Shiny!
How I resize PS1 images that are 512x224 or 512x240
I resize my PS1 images using a different two-step method than the one the site recommends, as I feel it's a suboptimal way of doing it that produces worse images with larger file sizes.
- Resize the image vertically without filtering (aka nearest neighbor) to exactly double its height
- Resize the image horizontally using bilinear filtering to 640 width (I find that using Lanczos filtering adds unwanted ringing artifacts but doesn't meaningfully improve sharpness)
Images resized this way to 640x448/480 not only look noticeably sharper while also retaining more of their pixel detail compared to ones resized with the current method to 512x384, they also take less space when compressed as a PNG.
This is inspired by Displaced Gamer's guide on resizing DOS screenshots as seen in this video (though I stretch the image horizontally instead of vertically), though I quickly realized that the scaling one dimension by 6x and then scaling back down doesn't meaningfully affect quality over the simpler approach
