Hi Julian,

  I'm not Al, but I think the multistep method shows advantages on
severe downsampling. For what you described I'd tend to agree with you,
a one step method should produce better results.

  I saw advantages to multistep when I was making thumbnails for the
web, but they weren't my images at the time, and it involved images that
needed to be scaled down dimensionally as well as downsampling
resolution, and I think that's an important point. At simple massive
downsampling I would think that very finely detailed images, where the
detail must hold for the intent of the image to be conveyed, and (not
that this is likely to be a concern for you), bitmaps of any kind, would
probably benefit as well, though in these cases I really think you'd
have to adjust your settings as you went along on an image specific
basis.

  I haven't done anything similar in 7 though.
