GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 306455
Resize/Resample image tool - methods enhancement
Last modified: 2008-01-15 12:55:27 UTC
Request: to add more image resample methods. I cannot help myself it is very strange that GIMP as image editor has only 2 resampling methods, bilinear and bicubic. Even famous image viewer Irfanview, not primary intended for image editing, has 7 ones, fom triangle to Lanczos(3?). And even Avisynth, excelent video frame server with script language, that does not spend at one frame=image more than a fraction of second, has bilinear,Lanczos3,Lanczos4 and Bicubic, The last even with user defined b and c parameters, changing it behavior.
Current CVS has Lanczos. If you want others, you should code them and provide patches - or, for a start, you could look at some of the bugs that were reported for the Lanczos one already.
I would close the bug report as POINTLESS but since that resolution doesn't exist I am closing it as INVALID.
Better to mark this as a duplicate of bug #166130. Poutnik, you should also take a look at bug #162250.
