It depends on the algorithm used, if you use interpolation you can not control what the algorithm will create.
The resize algorithm doesn't manufacture artefacts, just smoothens them out. I've even given an example of this on that thread.
I want a laptop, a new PocketPC and a new leather jacket, Santa.

The bigger crater closer to the camera is Kohlschütter. Kohlschütter has a diameter of 53 km, so the smaller crater, the one that has the "tower" on its rim, should be around 14 km, judging by a map of that area.

Nice find! Sorry to keep being a pest with the same question, but what is the scale of that photo? Is that "tower" 60 feet tall, or 1 mile tall?

Comparing the "tower" with the crater gives me something like 600 metres high.

Quite a "skyscraper" to be out in the middle of nowhere like that and to not have any shadow.

Where the shadow is concerned, you would not be able to see it due to a distinct fold in the ground which may be hiding the shadow.

What about this picture? I'm not sure if it has been posted but it looks weird to me. Not an expert in photography nor anomalies on the moon. But anyway this one looks funky..
