Sharp sprites when blur after resize[discussion]

[InPhiKnight]

When I make sprites at 400% or something else size, bigger than 79x79..... when I resize them to 79x79 they become blur...too blur.
I just resize them with paint.net and don't sharpen them...'cause idk how to do it in a proper method.
How to shapen the sprites after resize or how you resize them?

Help will be appreciated!

err. mine while using paint.net are not blur

Resizing always requires some interpolation and there are many different methods for that.
You need to find out whether you can switch to a sharper interpolation method in paint.net - just go through the settings.

I like using a normal bicubic one. If you don't want any blur you can try "nearest neighbour".
Usually there is also "bilinear" and "bicubic sharper"/"bicubic smoother". Just try whatever you can choose.

Use vector graphic.

dont select anti aliasing (what ever that is i dont remember)
but it comes in paste option unmark it and then you will see no blur

Use vector graphic.

Damn!! PF deleted his best spriting tut.
I'll summary up but I cant find the tut for you.
-When using 79x79+ size, try not doing it so detailed.
-Do not use more than 3 colors shade or the sprite will be blur.

I guess that's all. It's hard to explain. :/
