Ssoft-interpol script

Hi Folks,
I am brand spanking new to the group but I have been using psp since
version7.
A few months ago I purchased a whole load of scripts from the ssoft site and
recently have taken to trying them all out.
The 'Interpol' script is fascinating me and I have had some super results
printing off very old photographs which I have restored.
I am curious as to what is actually happening to the photograph after I
start running the script. At the moment I am content to just keep on
clicking the 'OK' as each window appears because I am getting some very good
A4 prints.

Could someone simplify the workings of the script please.

Hi,
By resizing images just a little bit at a time (25%) it helps to preserve
as much pixel information as possible. So you end up with a clearer image.
Here is the description of what the script does:

This script is for resizing images, in a series of steps.

The 'stairway interpolation' method gives sharper end results,
than just a one step image Resize.

Interpol resizes in 25% steps, increasing or decreasing image size,
with an option to use proportional Unsharp Mask sharpening.

Thanks for that "hå£ê¥".
I was thinking along the right tracks
