other resize-methods?

Hi, I`ve read an article about resizing pictures taken with digicams. There was written, that Lanczos isn`t the best method. Thzey said something about Genuine Fractals and S-Spline. Does anybody know something more about this topic. Is it possible to use this methods in avisynth-scripts too?

Don't know about S-Splines, but fractal resizing is considered quite heavy... It may grind any encode to a halt.

So Lanczos is the best way if you look at performance and result?

So, to sum up, Lanczos keeps the most detail without adding noise. Is there such thing as a detail to noise ratio?;) Stephen

Do exist any resize algorithm with spatial filtering side effect?
