What sampling method is used when resizing using Transform | Scale — nearest neighbor or bicubic (or something else)?

I often combine images where the proportions of one part need to be scaled with respect to the other. I’ve been resizing the second part before adding it to the first, but Transform | Scale would be faster and if the quality of the result is the same I’d like to switch to that method.

It uses whatever you specify in the Preferences command. By default, this is icubic interpolation.

Thanks for the replies.

I had seen the option in preferences, but thought maybe it only set the default in Image Resize. I have used programs that did not use the same sampling method when resizing via mouse.

It uses the default sampling specified in preferences.
