Resizing images in Corel Photo-Paint is a straightforward process, but it's important to understand the basics of image dimensions and resolution to achieve the desired results. The size and resolution of an image are determined by the number and arrangement of pixels, which are tiny boxes, each with a specific colour that contributes to the overall picture. When resizing an image, the number of pixels can be increased or decreased, resulting in a larger or smaller image size. Corel Photo-Paint offers various resizing options, including by pixels, percentage, print size, and based on one side, allowing users to specify the desired width and height. Additionally, the application employs advanced machine learning techniques to upscale images while preserving clean edges, sharpness, and fine details. By understanding these fundamentals, users can effectively reduce image size and produce high-quality results.

Resizing images: change the height and width of an image without affecting resolution
When resizing images in Corel Photo-Paint, you can change the physical dimensions of an image by increasing or decreasing its height and width without changing the resolution. This is useful when you need to adjust the image size for printing or online use while maintaining the same level of detail.
To resize an image in Corel Photo-Paint, you can use the "Resize" command or adjust the canvas size, crop the image, or print it at a different size. When using the "Resize" command, you have several options to specify the new size:
- By Pixels: You can manually enter the desired width and height in pixels.
- By Percentage: You can change the size by a percentage of the original by entering a value in the Width or Height box.
- By Print Size: If you plan to print the image, you can specify the size in inches, centimeters, or millimeters.
- Based on One Side: You can specify either the width or height in pixels, and the image will be resized proportionally.
When resizing images, it's important to consider the aspect ratio to avoid distorting the image. You can lock the aspect ratio to ensure that the image is resized proportionally. Additionally, it's recommended to avoid increasing the image size by more than 125% to prevent a loss of detail and sharpness.
Corel Photo-Paint also offers advanced resampling features that can help you reduce the image size without compromising quality. Resampling involves changing the number of pixels in an image. The Bicubic method, while slower, typically yields better results by interpolating new pixels based on the colors of neighbouring pixels. The Nearest Neighbour method preserves sharp details but may introduce jagged edges.

Resampling: change the number of pixels in an image, which changes the file size
Resampling is a method of changing the number of pixels in an image, which subsequently changes the file size. This is different from resizing, which involves increasing or decreasing the pixel size. Resampling is a useful method when you want to reduce the size of an image file without losing too much quality.
When using Corel Photo-Paint, you can adjust the width, height and resolution of an image to your desired specifications. The application also uses advanced machine learning techniques to upscale images by preserving clean edges, sharpness, and fine details.
There are two resampling methods available in Corel Photo-Paint: the Illustration method and the Photorealistic method. The Illustration method utilises low-level blurring and sharpening techniques to create cartoon-like effects, making it ideal for images such as logos, drawings, illustrations, and paintings created using graphic design software. On the other hand, the Photorealistic method is more suitable for resizing photos while maintaining their realistic appearance.
When you change the dimensions of an image, it is recommended to use width and height values that are factors of the original values. For instance, reducing the image size by 50% will yield better results than reducing it by 77%. This is because, when reducing by 50%, the application removes every other pixel, whereas reducing by 77% requires the irregular removal of pixels, which can result in a more pixelated appearance.
Additionally, you can change the resolution and size of an image simultaneously in Corel Photo-Paint. Downsampling decreases the total number of pixels in an image, while upsampling adds more pixels. It is generally recommended to perform downsampling after colour and tone corrections but before sharpening. Corel Photo-Paint offers several upsampling modes, including the Bicubic method and the Nearest Neighbour method, each producing different visual outcomes.

Upsampling: increase the number of pixels in an image to enlarge it
Upsampling is a process that increases the number of pixels in a digital image, resulting in an enlarged version of the image. This technique is particularly useful when you need to enlarge an image without compromising its quality and detail.
When upsampling an image in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, you have access to several modes that cater to different needs. The Bicubic method, for instance, adds new pixels between existing pixels and determines their colours based on neighbouring pixels. This approach produces smooth tonal gradations and is considered one of the best methods for upsampling. However, it is also the slowest option. Another method is the Nearest Neighbour technique, which replaces each pixel with the nearest pixel in the upsampled image. While this method effectively preserves sharp details, it may also introduce jagged edges instead of smooth lines and curves.
The Photorealistic and Illustration upsampling methods in Corel PHOTO-PAINT are supported only in the 64-bit version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. These methods utilise advanced machine learning techniques to enhance the upsampling process. The Photorealistic method is particularly effective for resizing photos, while the Illustration method is ideal for images like logos, drawings, illustrations, and paintings created in graphic design software. It employs low-level blurring and sharpening techniques to create cartoon-like effects.
It is important to note that upsampling has its limitations. Avoid increasing the image size by more than 125%, as this may lead to a loss of detail and sharpness. Additionally, it is recommended to resize an image only once. If you are not satisfied with the result, undo your changes and try again.
When resizing images, you can also adjust the canvas size, crop the image, change the print size, or utilise options like Copy Special and Save for Office to specify the image size and resolution. These tools provide flexibility in resizing images to match your desired output.

Downsampling: decrease the number of pixels in an image to reduce its size
When resizing an image in Corel Photo-Paint, you can change both its resolution and size at the same time. Downsampling is a method of decreasing the total number of pixels in an image, thereby reducing its size. This is particularly useful when you need to shrink an image to meet size limits for sharing online or via email.
Downsampling is one of two methods of changing image size, the other being upsampling, which increases the number of pixels and is useful for enlarging images without losing quality and detail. When downsampling, the best results are usually achieved when the process is done after colour and tone corrections but before sharpening.
There are several methods of downsampling in Corel Photo-Paint. The first is the Nearest Neighbour method, which replaces every pixel with the nearest pixel in the downsampled image. This results in multiple pixels of the same colour and preserves sharp details, but it can also produce jagged edges instead of smooth lines and curves. The second method is the Bicubic method, which is slower but usually produces better results. This method adds new pixels between existing pixels and interpolates them based on the colours of neighbouring pixels, producing smooth tonal gradations.
When reducing the size of an image, it is recommended to use width and height values that are factors of the original values. For example, reducing the image size by 50% will produce a better-looking image than reducing it by 77%, as the application removes every other pixel when reducing by 50%, but must remove pixels irregularly when reducing by 77%.

Image resolution: the number of pixels per inch (PPI) determines the size of a printed image
The size and resolution of an image in Corel Photo-Paint affect its print quality. It is important to understand the relationship between image resolution and the number of pixels per inch (PPI) to determine the size of a printed image.
PPI is the number of pixels contained in a digital image, and it determines the density of pixels. This density affects the print size and quality of the output. A higher PPI generally corresponds with greater detail and quality. This is because each pixel represents one sample of a single colour, so more pixels mean more detailed images. When an image is printed, the number of pixels per inch determines the size of the printed image. A higher PPI will result in a smaller printed image, as it creates smaller printed pixels. Conversely, a lower PPI will result in a larger printed image with larger pixels.
When changing the dimensions of an image in Corel Photo-Paint, it is best to use width and height values that are factors of the original values. For example, reducing the image size by 50% will produce a better-looking image than reducing it by 77%. This is because reducing the image by 50% removes every other pixel, while reducing it by 77% requires removing pixels irregularly. It is also important to note that increasing the image size by more than 125% may cause a loss of detail and sharpness.
Corel Photo-Paint offers several upsampling modes to increase the size of an image without losing quality and detail. The Bicubic method adds new pixels between existing pixels and interpolates their colours based on neighbouring pixels, resulting in smooth tonal gradations. The Nearest Neighbour method replaces each pixel with the nearest pixel in the upsampled image, preserving sharp details but sometimes producing jagged edges. The Photorealistic method, supported only in the 64-bit version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, uses AI to reduce noise and pixelation and maintain colour.
