Hmm, this is worrisome. There really shouldn't be ringing on continuous-tone images like Lena -- right? (And at no step in an image like that should gaussian filtering be necessary if you're doing spline interpolation -- also right?) I assumed the problem was a non-issue after some testing with a few natural images didn't introduce any artifacts like those, but now with the Lena example I'm not sure. This is frustrating, to be sure, mostly because of my limited knowledge on the subject -- just enough to be dangerous.
