I've been toying with the idea of looking up sharpening algorithms to make the mipmaps less washed out after rescaling. I'm sure there's got to be someting out there I could implement.
Unsharp Mask is a good image filter when used in moderation.

BIMP plugin for GIMP would be useful if you were trying to do a batch of unsharp mask filtering to group of textures.

DDS plugin is also useful for GIMP if you want to export to DDS/DXT file types which can also create mip maps as well for them.

The Luclin upgrade textures weren't too bad and Psycher on p1999 did a nice character texture upgrade at one point too that was quite a decent improvement.
