I am not sure what "xv" uses for smoothing, but I myself like it.

I think it is a -median filter, but am not certain.

The only time I hacked the source of that program was to increase the
size of the default thumbnailing  (the defult is too small for modern
displays).

For details of what I did see..

If you find out more, please let me know.  "XV" is still better than a
lot of the other image browsers I have seen.
