Hmm...it may have gone by the wayside, but bicubic sampling does not prevent degradation. I am just wondering the best way to downsize with least amount of degradation. I love to do my fine art photography and digital artwork of combined scanned illustrations and painting in PS in smaller versions as well as the large ones I work in. Does anyone out there do much downsizing WITH the need for high quality? I'm not talking about Save for Web, but for printing out. I sell my artwork, so the answer is pertinent and important to me. I've never been able to find documentation on this, and that sort of bothers me.
