irrelevant, he is talking about paint.net

Ok thanks, I knew what Nearest Neighbor did but now I know the other ones too.

Bilinear results in a blurry image due to the fact that it's just like rounding every point of the image.
Bicubic results in a less blurry image because it's using cubic curves.
I don't know what Nearest Neighbor does.
I don't know what algorithm Best Quality uses.

Nearest Neighbor resizes according to the exact source size scaling up to the target size.
Best Quality selects an algorithm for you -- Bicubic if scaling down, Super Sampling if scaling up.
