Or at least that’s what Eric Brasseur is saying“There is an error in most photography scaling algorithms. All software tested (August 2007) had the problem: The Gimp, Adobe Photoshop, CinePaint, Nip2, ImageMagick, GQview, Eye of Gnome, Paint and Krita. Also three different operating systems were used: Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.”

He is saying that even photoshop will scale this image wrong, and I must admit, i was a bit sceptical, since the article was dated 2007, so i downloaded the image off the site and tried it, and sure enough, the only application that did it right was Pixelmator. huh.
