I tried to use recode_pdf from imagestack together with the option to downsample the foreground ("--fg-downsample 4").
The resulting pdf was unreadable.
I found out that the foreground (meaning the color layer) was resampled as expected.
When the pdf is written, the resolution of the mask layer (which should stay in the original size) is taken from the foreground and therefor wrong.
As a solution i changed mrc.py to return the size of the mask and used the values from recode.py
This works fine when encoding images to pdf.
I did not test ist with other modes.
Attached you find patches for mrc.py and recode.py.
