Package: ghostscript Version: 8.70~dfsg-2 Severity: wishlist
A PDF file consisting of a 300 DPI page-size image, generated by printing from Open Office Draw to the CUPS PDF converter, is poorly rendered by both Evince and the GIMP, so I'm making a guess that the problem lies in Ghostscript. It seems to be downsampling images by skipping pixels rather than averaging them. I've attached snippets of the image (a) at its original 300 DPI, (b) scaled poorly to 100 DPI by Ghostscript, and (c) scaled well to 100 DPI by the GIMP.
