When getting our posters ready for stark you told us that we wanted them to be at least 1080pixles in height. My movie collection includes many older and less popular movies so i have many posters that are around 750 px high. Do you think it would be worth it to bump up the resolution of these in photoshop even if i will be running my screen at 720p? I know that increasing the resolution is not the most ideal solution but would it be better than nothing?
Try this:
1) Open image in PS.
2) Increase image size by 300% using Bicubic Smoother resampling.
3) Use the Stylize-Diffuse filter on the Anisotropic setting.
4) Decrease image size to 1080p dimensions (1080 vertical). Try Bicubic Smoother and Bicubic Sharper and see which looks best.
5) Use the Reduce Noise filter on a high intensity and play with the sharpness setting.
It won't work magic but it's a decent solution. Actually does work magic on certain hand-drawn images.
@digitalhigh: Did you speak to the movieposterdb guys in the end? Sounds like you did.
