Does resizing the images affect image quality Why or why not?

The most common side effect of scaling an image larger than its original dimensions is that the image may appear to be very fuzzy or pixelated. Scaling images smaller than the original dimensions does not affect quality as much, but can have other side effects.

Does resizing an image reduce quality?

The short answer to your question: Yes, you will lose image quality. If you resize your images down to a smaller size, and then size back up again, your image will be a lot less clear. When you resize the image back to the original size, you won't get the original image back.

How do I resize an image in Photoshop without distorting it?

To resize the entire image document you want to go to menu — Image > Image Size (or Alt+Ctrl+I). Make sure the “Constrain Proportions” box is checked then change your width or height to whatever size you want. Photoshop will lock the ratio and keep the other dimension at the proper dimension to prevent distortion.

What is the difference between image size and canvas size in Photoshop?

The Image Size command is used when you want to change the size of an image, such as to print at a different size than the native pixel dimensions of the image. The Canvas Size command is used for adding space around a photo or essentially cropping the image by reducing the available space.
