392587 - Downscaled images look bad

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98971

(Core Graveyard :: GFX: Gtk, enhancement)

Description

[Bastien Nocera]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en; rv:1.8.0.12) Gecko/20070530 Fedora/1.5.0.12-1.fc6 Epiphany/2.16 Firefox/1.5.0.12
Build Identifier: Firefox 2.0.0.6 GTK2 on Fedora Rawhide

As a follow-up to:
http://svenfoo.geekheim.de/index.php/2007-08-15/old-bugs-must-die/

I checked the scaling of the original test image:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=89819&action=view
And the scaled image looks worse than what EOG (GNOME's image viewer) can show
for the same image, at the same scale.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=89819&action=view in Firefox
2. Click to downscale the image (not needed for Epiphany)

Actual Results:  
See that the image is unreadable, lacking enormously in details

Expected Results:  
Smoother downscaled image

Feel free to move this bug to GFX:Cairo if you reckon that it is a better place to fix this problem.
