Resize?

[Anakunda]

Hello, what is better resize method, BicubicResize() or LanzosResize() ? .. as for quality as for speed...

Well that is the choice that individual has to take based on his/her taste. BicubicResize can be adjusted to be soft, natural or sharp, but Lanczos being sharper then Bicubic also being a bit slower and having more ringing artefacts. Spline based resizers 16/36/64 going from softest to sharpest are great alternative to Lanczos, Spline36 can achieve 99% of sharp output that of Lanczos but having less ringing artefacts and being slower. Also BlackmanResize is one that people here often use as alternative to Lanczos and Bicubic, that one doesn't ring as Lanczos but aliases instead. Test diffrent resizers and pick one that looks better to you.

PhrostByte has made a nice Kernel visualization page

where you can see the diffrence between resizers.
