Description

When the image viewer was originally created it was taking images from 4096 to 512, which is integer scaling. With newer EM camera the scaling has become a float and introduce artifacts.

Two things I noticed to fix this:
  • scale by float then integer could help.
  • use bilinear scaling rather than default bicubic

new method should be faster and reduce artifacts from scaling.

Looks better to me for sure. But what about speed etc.?

By my tests, the scaling goes ~3.5X faster. Quality goes up with more noise in the images (see attachment)

We are not longer doing a cubic fit for each pixel, just a linear fit, so that goes faster. Bicubic interpolation is the default in Adobe Photoshop, but does not work well with noisy images.
