6 months ago Few more comparisons between the two programs (FastStone and ImageEditor v0.6.14) with different settings on FastStone.
Without Smooth Lanczos
Witch Smooth Lanczos
It is clear that when there is Smoothing in the case with Lanczos, the image looks much better. As far as I read on the internet, there are different methods for appearance when enlarging/reducing an image. In my opinion, it is best to use the method with the best effect (slower and more resource-intensive), because it is unlikely that many images will be changed, and quality is most important.

On the attached snapshot, I have shown how it looks in FastStone (the left image) and ImageEditor. The problem is most clearly seen in the details of the coat of arms. In FastStone, the details of the image are much clearer. The image is at 17%.
