In that case, it sounds like the relevant parameter should also be
stored on the image, rather than on the call to the image. It seems
unlikely to me that one would want to downscale using one method on
one page, and using a different method on another page. In extreme
cases (like, wanting to demonstrate pixelation), people can use the
current fallback method.
