Re: [Q:] S simple q wrt scaling

Make sure your image is in RGB format before scaling it.  If you are doing the
scaling with an indexed image, antialiasing can't happen.  You can also scecify
cubic interpolation in your gimp preferences.

 I'm trying to rescale an image (say from 1000 pixel to 100 pixel to
 use a logo on the web). That works ok. However the sclaing process
 does only simple resampling of the imga, which results in a rather
 jagged look on the scaled image. There muts be away to get a smooth
 scaling (say by bilinear filtering), but I can't see it (maybe it is
 too obvious?)

If you're scaling an image down by more than a small amount, blur
it first. Use a gaussian filter - I'd start with a radius of half
the scale factor and adjust until the result looks good.
