The software rendering code goes in the loaded event and you apply it to the window, but im not sure it will have any effect if you are just saving the image and not displaying it.

void ScaleBitmapImage(string imagePath, double targetSize, Image image)
{
    Uri uri = new Uri(imagePath);
    BitmapImage bitmapImage = new BitmapImage(uri);
    var scale = targetSize / bitmapImage.PixelWidth;
    TransformedBitmap scaledBitmap = new TransformedBitmap();
    scaledBitmap.BeginInit();
    scaledBitmap.Source = bitmapImage;
    scaledBitmap.Transform = new ScaleTransform(scale, scale);
    scaledBitmap.EndInit();
    image.Source = scaledBitmap;
}

I have also installed the platform update for vista which may have updated the windows imaging component.

I tried scaling an Image control and using RenderTargetBitmap and didn't notice any quality degradation

void ScaleUsingRTB(string inFile, string outFile, double scale)
{
	Uri uri = new Uri(inFile);
	BitmapImage bitmapImage = new BitmapImage(uri);
	var image = new Image
