Unrelated: since when has this picture of Bologna become a new lenna.jpg? I think I have already seen it in a couple of recent posts about image compression. (

Lenna does IMO not contain enough sharp edges and contrasts to highlight the differences between the different resize techniques. With Bologna, you can clearly see the problems with a nearest-neighbour approach. I'm not sure that would have been equally visible with lenna.

  Even in 1996 there was discussion [1] about the controversy around lenna.jpg and its decline due to its origins and possible copyright issues. [1] http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/editor.html http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~chuck/lennapg/editor.html
