as long as you maintain the aspect ratio of the image and dont decide to reduce 50% of the original resolution you shouldn't have any kind of problem with gimp\photoshop

If you want something high-res to render at a smaller scale, you can using GZDoom's features (like the Scale property in TEXTURES or DECORATE).

You can do that with only with textures?

What kind of picture is it? Some filters should be better than others at prioritizing certain details over others, while if this is a smaller piece of pixel art it might be faster to manually edit and smooth out a pixelated resize than to find the exact algorithm that gets you what you need.

If you're okay with how they look, algorithms such as Scalex, xBRZ, and HQx can give a smoothed or semi-painterly look to the upscaling. GZDoom incorporates these natively in the High-Quality resize option, so you can play with that to see how they look.

In this case i need to reduce the size of the image...it is the same thing?
