Which produces the best result (or are the results the same)?:

1) Creating new images using a pre-defined filter and then in a *separate* procedure, reszing them downwards
2) Creating new images using a pre-defined filter with the downsizing built in to the filter

Anthony,
The only thing that makes a difference is the setting you use for Downsizing in Options called antialiasing..
Even that is hard to see on most images.
Best to leave it on default.

Thank you for that Fred. But coming back to my question, is it better to do this in a single operation or is it OK to split it into two operations?

It uses the same downsize algorithm either way.

Why use a filter to downsize and create new images?
With 1) you have to add the filter and save the filtered image from the Editor screen.
With 2) the image is only downsized within QU where the filter (a separate file) is applied.

The easier way for jpegs is to use E-Mail/Web copies; you can enter any pixel size you like and as Fred says, it's all the same algorithm that's used.
The other way is to use "Convert", again a right click option on the page preview for images in the queue. There are more options with this method, there's a feature to "add" a filter (eg, downsize) and tif's can be made.
