There are two sides: only color correcting the scaled pixels will be a lot
cheaper, but I'm not sure whether that will give visible artefacts.

In any case, I'm not officially getting confused myself about mipmapping the
projection... I'm fine with either doing it in krita/image and using KisPaintDevice,
or doing it in krita/ui/canvas, and using QImage-based tiles (like the opengl
canvas does already).
