Mario,

At the macro level (looking at a whole image) I would expect bilinear and
cubic convolution to be hard to differentiate unless a great deal of
resolution magnification is taking place.

I looked at the images, and it does appear that there are some differences
from the results in Paint Shop Pro, but it is impossible for me to tell
what might be causing the differences.   If you can provide the input
files, and arguments you used to process them, and the raw results from
Paint Shop Pro I could try and compare.  However, there isn't anything I
do with jpeg files since the "corruption" of the data due to jpeg
compression will in many ways dominate the effects of different resampling
algorithms.

Best regards,
