In this algorithm, Photoshop is paying more attention to pixels in close proximity, and will result in a sharper image. Otherwise, use “Bicubic Sharper” when resampling your images down.

The printer can always scale the image down using the software that is working in conjunction with their printing hardware. If you are sending a print ready file to a printer, it’s best to send as large as a file as you can, or the exact pixel dimensions the printer has requested. Normally, when you are resizing your images down this is so you can share them on the internet. The image overall will become more pixelated and less ideal for printing at larger sizes.
Ideally I'd ask which sort of images you think the plugins you use are best for but as you say, that gets a bit vague.When resampling an image to a smaller size, pixels are removed to accommodate this new size. Which enlargement plugins have you tried but don't use and why? When say that experience is the most important thing, do you mean experience with use of the plugins? It's really that experience that I'd like to tap into, having not used these plugins yet.Ģ.
Is it possible to generalize things such as: fractal based plugins are best for natural textures? Are there any hybrid plugins which use content aware algorithm selection? Would it be possible to give a favorite for each algorithm type? I suspect that some plugins which using a similar algorithm are simply better than others. Perhaps I was too limiting in asking for a favorite. So would you recommend getting a bunch of different plugins and trying them on different images until you get a feel for which one will work best? Would it be too much to ask what your "couple more" plugins are?

PS - BTW, I have never had a problem with PhotoZoom Pro inventing unbelievable texture or edge artifacts, but I always tweak every available knob in any software I am using, LOL. IMHO, there is absolutely nothing that beats personal experience when working in this area. Some do better in areas with a relatively small number of well separated, sharp, well defined edges, some do better in areas where there are many, closely (and possibly regularly) spaced edges, some better where there is a more natural, fractal-like texture that needs to be interpolated. In fact, I find that often, one algorithm will be better in one part of the image, whereas another algorithm will be better in another part of the same image. After following this field for at least 2 decades, I find general discussions without reference to specific example images to be next to useless (at least for the better algorithms). My opinion is that the only way to tell which is "the winner" is to try them for yourself on the particular image that you need resized.

I own and use all three of the image resizing packages you mentioned, plus a couple more. Personally, I don't have time to discuss that enormous literature base here. For example, a Google search on produced over 10 million, very reasonable hits. As I'm sure you must know, discussion of the best image resizing algorithm / software package has been a real can of worms that dates even from pre-Photoshop days, ie, the late 1980's through late 1990's, when many of the algorithms were still being discussed in Computer Science classes and graduate school research.
