Hi [USER=111848]@timoat[/USER]

I may not understand the exact details of what you are doing from one image to the other, yet I think the root cause is that the destination image is not high enough resolution.

I took your first post image and cut a small section on the right side image and place in on the left side.  You can see that the original has a much finer pixel spacing than that image on the right.

The Smart Object is doing its job just fine for the number of pixels in which you are fitting the image.  Up the resolution of your target image by a factor of 4 or so and then they will match much better.

BTW - the eye can only percieve about 300 dpi from 12 inches away so another consideration is what is the final size and the viewing distance of the final image.  If you are zooming in to a level that the human eye cannot resolve, thatis pixel peeping and it may not be a real issue you are trying to correct

Just some quick thoughts
