I just started using Photoshop CC – previously I was using CS2, which was great but is no longer available for free download.
For some reason, when I throw an image into Creative Cloud (current version), it automatically resizes to fit in the image workspace. When it is not wide enough to fit the dimensions, I hold Shift and the transform bar to maintain dimensions, but it blurs the image.
Never a problem downsizing in CS2 – What gives?
I feel it is shrinking the image to fit in the image that I'm working with, then I go to expand it and lose quality.
In CS2, I would throw a high quality image in the workspace (2500px × 1400px say), create a copy of that image, then drag onto the image space I'm working on (25% - 625px × 350px) then shrink to fit by holding Control+Shift. The image would come out looking crisp because I'm downsizing.
I guess my question is how do I replicate the CS2 results or process in Photoshop CC and maintain quality?
I'm about to go back to CS2!

Downsizing images without choosing an appropriate resampling method may cause loss of quality as for enlargments. Before resizing you should also convert the layer to smart object
