Maybe I am off base, but does this approach have any relationship to sharpening?
I have always been puzzled about sharpening, downsizing and viewing on different monitors.
If I follow my usual workflow including sharpening, downsize, and view on my monitor, images look acceptably sharp to me. Others view them on the presentation forums and often comment that my images look soft. I think this has to do with the fact that my monitor is fairly small and most photographers use much larger monitors. In any case I have to oversharpen by my eye for others to see appropriate sharpness. When I print, I use a high level of sharpening. The printing process and dither seem to kill the oversharpened appearance. How does selecting a magnification or downsizing, alter the sharpness and what view is best to use when adjusting sharpness? ...Show more →
Good question Jim. Downsizing makes and image appear sharper. It seems to me that viewing and giver image on a monitor with a small number PPI, 88 versus 180 for example will make an image appear softer.
I use a large monitor with low PPI, I think a lot of folks are travelers who use high end laptops with much higher PPI. I think the PPI is more important than the monitor dimensions.
