That would work fine for a vector graphic but not a bitmap.
>tedster pointed out a tip one time about reducing jpegs down to the desired size in steps and using the sharpen function.

I know, and I can't find it anywhere...Can someone point me to it.

>reduce the pixel size of your graphics down to probably 1/3 what you're using now. In other words try using pictures at say80x60 or 120x100.

I want to check that I get what you are saying...(I'm slow...remember)

You are saying "Modify the dimensions" (pixels wide by pixels across) not necessarily by changing the resolution ..Yes? In addition, do you change the resolution? From 72 to say, 50? (I would assume that is a no no for art sites with fine detail, but ok for other things. Please verify me one way or the other.

>It sounds dinky and it is but I have learned how to make it work

Do you make the small image link to a bigger one? Or just "work the layout"?

Thanks
