Sep 8, 2011 at 23:24 comment added ysap Note I bolded the 2.a - by itself, I don't think the assertion is correct. It is implied in 2.b, though.
Sep 8, 2011 at 19:29 comment added Tomas @ysap - nope, see 2.b! Moreover, what I meant with 2.a, is that you don't need best quality to save digitally zoomed image - and still you will get better result than using best quality and doing crop and resize in post-process.
Sep 8, 2011 at 18:43 comment added ysap The arguments seem valid, however, as for 2.a, you will save your digitally zoomed image at best quality and thus should get comparable file size.
