quote:
"For my general interpolation setting I choose Bicubic and when I am scaling images up or down I select the best interpolation for the task at hand - smooth for upsizing and sharp for downsizing images. In the past some photographers used the ‘Step Up’ method made popular by Fred Miranda to size images up in 10% increments. With the new interpolation schemes there is no need to go through this slow process any longer."

and Katrin quoting B.Frasier:)

"The Size option provides the ability to change the size of the image in the conversion process. As Bruce Fraser wrote on a ww.imagingrevue.com , "If you look solely at the interpolation, with no sharpening, or with ACR sharpening applied equally to both, there's very little difference between upsampling in ACR and upsampling using Bicubic Smoother. ACR upsamples on the raw data because that's all it has to work with, not because there's any inherent superiority in doing so. The new interpolation options in
Photoshop CS—Bicubic Sharper and Bicubic Smoother—are pretty awesome. All this applies only to Photoshop CS and the new Bicubic Smoother. In Photoshop 7, I'd do the upsample using ACR.""
