Image not acting is a smart object

[brechtf71475440]

Hi,

When I drag and drop an image into photoshop (W:480; H:280) the image looks very blurry.

The image isn't also perceived as a smart object when I drag and drop it into Photoshop.

What's the solution ?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for taking your time to respond.

These settings were already active.

Any other ideas?

Does it change to a smart object once you click on the "tick" symbol in the options bar to accept the transformation?

Hi Dave,

Yes it converts to a smart object. But the image remains blurry.

Beforehand I used the same process and the image quality did not alter like now. So somehow some settings are altered/changed. But the question is which. I can't seem to find it.

Your first screenshot shows it's displayed at 451%! Of course it's blurry. That's a very small image, blown up on screen.

Solved.

Thanks
