I have the same problem. So I use the older version to resize images. It’s a bug for sure. It’s so obvious!

Looks like we’re all having these problems.
I’m downsampling images from my 5D and the resultant image using ANY of the interploations in CS3-B are horrible, I’m actually doing my work in CS3-B and then exporting to CS2 to resize and finish off the piece of work.

Shockingly on their official forums, Adobe state they won’t address it until the final product – so in effect this Beta is useless to test a production environment for any professional photographer that requires downsizing for the web (where most of my clients view their images).

I’m having the same experience, googled and found this page. I’ve done a side-by-side comparison on a number of pics and all of the CS3 interpolation modes seem to be really messed up.

Looks like it’s a known issue after all:

I’ve found the problem: it looks like CS3 doesn’t like it when you do radical image resizing. That image is about 4000×4000 pixels, so I tried resizing it down to 2000×2000, then to 1000×1000, then to 500×500, and finally to 440×440. The resulting image doesnt suffer from the aliasing that yours does.

Looks like Adobe’s still gotta iron some bugs out – I’ll figure out how I can submit this info.

Don’t quote me on this, but I thought I heard somewhere that they’ve switched to using OpenGL for some of their image rendreing like this, but that support for this wasn’t rolled out with the beta. Sorry I don’t have links for more info.

ok so ryan gave me the same original file to repeat the test. i tried and tried. i tried all the settings. i tried doing a save as and opening the result in preview in case cs3 was just displaying it funny. i tried different sizes. they all sucked. if other people aren’t having this problem, the only thing i can think of is that both ryan and i are running trial copies. could that be the problem?
