I think you are referring to small end results. At 12mp (or whatever) you will probably not yet run into substantial moiree issues (at least if you start with a rather soft 24mp input).

I think that BC don’t understand my post.
The downsizing has always been tradeoffs between – noise, shapes, lines, sharpness, tonality artificant. As already mentioned there are plenty of downsizing methods. Unfortunately nor of them offers the best of all worlds.
I can roughly divide photographers in 4 groups.
- The masters – they know the most tools and methods for downsizing. They know how to use them and how to combine them to make an excellent result.
- Experts – they knows the most downsizing tools and methods but they don’t know how to combine them to make best possible result.
- Advanced - they know several downsizing techniqes but they are still not satisfied from thair results.
- Beginners – they know few downsizing methods and they are unappy with their downsizing results.
And now, where I am??? Maybe is is time to look at this graph again :-)

PS Klaus. Some techniques use multy pass downsizing which makes less sence to talk about the exact Mpixels and image size.
