Beautiful description and great examples. One thing confuses me. I'm actually using PS CS5 (supposedly the last 'correct' one?) and resizing figure 11 to 50% actually results in B, not C. Is there an option/setting I can use to fix this?
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the article. The only way I could get Photoshop to resize correctly was to convert the image to 32-bit first, do the resizing, then convert back to 8/16-bit (there might other simpler ways, though, but this is guaranteed to work). The image description actually describes this process.
