Interpolation Software

I'm a big fan of Perfect Resize - it does detail, diagonal lines and smooth areas well. To me it seems to fall down a little on blurry bokeh backgrounds. I s'pose you could use it on a layer and use conventional interpolation where PR struggles.

That's interesting, tbh, I'm not sure a client would notice.
 
Perfect resize is good, but IMO about as well can be done in PS with care. Qimage would be my recommendation... many interpolation algorithms and printer specific optimization.

Photoshop has improved but my tests showed PR to be superior by a decent stretch. I'll check out Qimage, thanks.

To get good results in PS you need to do incremental changes with "even math" so it doesn't do any/as much "rounding."

That makes sense. PR is much easier though, but I'd imagine the results doing similar would be excellent.

I'm sure I've read that's no longer necessary, as the Bicubic Auto does incremental resizing automatically - and produces better results.
A quick google search which seems to confirm that but without a definitive statement from Adobe, other than a second-hand reference to a Julianne Kost video.

That probably explains why the gap has shrunk, but it's still inferior to PR. I'd imagine that does the same thing.
