LanczosResize: Too much sharpening

Simple computer generated text is not the same as moving pictures and is no test of any video tool (apart from a logo remover maybe :) ) Try it on something real (or anime ;) ) regards Simon

LanczosResize is intended to sharpen an image. So I would recommend it in shrinking only. BicubicResize with the default parameters is a quite neutral resize (no sharpening no blurring) So if you want to compare Bicubic with Lanczos try BicubicResize(500,500, 0, 0.7)

OK. I see. You're right. I think I will test a little bit with normal material now (impact on compressibility and subjective impression). Thank you

You may want to take a look at the Lnaczos3-resize-thread on this forum. No need to make up a new thread for it, or to not use the results we got there. Regards, Koepi
