Splash images show substantial aliasing

[esDotDev]

The images produced with this library show a lot of aliasing:

We would hope for it to look more like:

It looks like the AVERAGE mode might be better than CUBIC for down-scaling images:

Maybe this can be made into a config option?

I chose Interpolation.cubic because in the image package, it is described as the highest quality :

/// Cubic blend between the neighboring pixels. Slowest, highest Quality.

As long as the image package has that description, I believe this package should use the cubic mode. If your image is not resized with the highest quality, I suggest that you should open a ticket with the image package.

[esDotDev]

Yes, but if you read the linked thread, they added AVERAGE mode specifically because cubic is quite poor when down-scaling.

Could you expose this setting so developers can choose the mode that best makes sense for their assets?

[esDotDev]

For example, here is CUBIC (left) vs AVERAGE (right) when downscaling a large image:

Zooming in on the image really shows the poor anti-aliasing of CUBIC

OK, I read through that thread more carefully and I see what you mean. I am more inclined to just use AVERAGE rather than make it a developer option. I would like to avoid option bloat, and this choice appears to have a clear winner.

Works for me, thx!
