sharpening is the general enemy of scaling. so if there are exposed =
settings with sharpening, set them off or normal or smoother, or =
selecting a better quality scaling algorthim is all you should need to =
use. I do this all day long and don=E2=80=99t have problems with camera =
images.=20

if there is any place where there is a problem, its in interlaced =
material ( usually SD, can be HD ) thats had its fields munged ( speed =
changes, clumsy handling of interlace usually involving operator error ) =
and not easy to remove w/o manual fixes. otherwise if I have seen =
something, its started with the original image, not the scaling.
