1. A method of downsizing an input disjoint block level encoded image, comprising: calculating a DCT downsize ratio for downsizing the input image in a DCT domain according to a target downsize ratio and according to a size of a DCT transform length associated with the input image; adapting an I-DCT according to the DCT domain downsize ratios; performing the adapted I-DCT; providing an intermediate image as output of a DCT domain process; and applying a pixel domain interpolation to the intermediate image according to dimensions of the intermediate image and according to dimensions of the target image.
