Bill: A quick note about gegl-sampler-sharp (a.k.a. nohalo-bilinear level 1): I just checked, and it does a pretty good job at mild downsampling. Also: I am not convinced, far from it actually, that NEDI will do better than nohalo level 1 when the enlargement ratio is moderate (no larger than about 3), and I am pretty confident that higher level nohalos will actually do better across the board. It almost certainly will be much slower. So: I am not sure it really is worth your while implementing them for GEGL, given that their aims are pretty much the same, and the means are not completely different.. (Warning: I am highly biased: I am the main designer of the nohalo method. I also stand to be corrected: nohalo is still too young for me to really know its character. Note that nohalo-bilinear level 1 used on a CG picture which is "writing like"---as opposed to a photograph of a natural scene---is >>not<< likely to give impressive results.)
