Does anyone know when using the crop tool in Photoshop and when it resizes your photo for what method it uses? Does it automatically use Bicubic Smother for enlargement and Bicubic sharper for reductions? I was wondering this and couldn't find it in the help for Photoshop anywhere. Thanks to anyone who may have the answer!

That really is a good question. I don't know the answer, but I can suggest a test. Take an image with fine, high-contrast detail, and use the crop tool to resize downward slightly. Repeat a few times. Save. Change your preferences as to which algorithm gets used. Repeat the above test. Compare the images.
If you do this, you should be able to determine:
1.) If PS changes the algorithm based on your preferences setting
2.) If it does not, which algorithm do the results most closely resemble? |

| It uses the default interpolation you defined in your preferences. |

The default interpolation is set in preferences in the General section. By default it is bicubic.
edit: doh! too slow. had to wait for windows machine to boot to look lol

Thanks folks!!! I appreciate your responses.
Kirbic, I think I will try the test anyway just to make sure and I'm even going to check in CS3 to see if maybe they changed something because in the resize window in CS3 it tells you which to use when resizing.
Thanks again!
