Really? The Mac jockeys you know must be very deluded. I can't imagine
not selecting one's color space or scratch disk. For example, if you
don't choose your preferences, the startup disk will be the scratch
disk. To get good performance from PS on a Mac you need a firewire hard
drive with a lot of empty space as your scratch disk. If you print PS
documents from a Mac, you want to set up PhotoShop for ColorSynch. And
as noted before, the bicubic interpolation is not always the best. I
can't believe that anyone who uses a Mac for photography and has any
notion of what they're doing would use all of the default preferences.

The file size change preference in General Preferences. I think
everyone knows how to set those. The default is "Bicubic Better."
"Bicubic Smoother" seems to give better interpolation when upsizing.
I'm not certain, but I think it's irrelevant when downsizing. However,
getting back to Shel's question, one step downsizing is better than a
mutitude of steps. The same is reportedly true of upsizing
(interpolation).
