I found the best results are produced with Lanczos scale for thumbnails and unsharp mask after that. Most scale algorithms apply as a first step a low pass filter (blur) and sub-sampling after that, this makes scaled down images to look not sharp enough.

I'm getting excellent results with the java-image-scaling library.

Possibly because of the kernel you've used.

A lanczos filter, for instance, gives relatively sharp results.
