David;
More anecdotal information:
I was curious too, so when a client asked me to enlarge a very small image
(8 x 10 at around 180 ppi) to fit my largest sheet size (35 x 47), I thought
this a good test. I printed a detail using PS Bicubic, and Qimage Pyramid.
The Qimage sample was the better image . . . much better. Less fringe, fewer
artifacts. A much bigger difference than I would have thought.
