[DUG] Resizing images

[John Bird]

More specifically - does the GIMP or any other resizing method allow me to 
specify this?:

Where say an image with a a white background (the transparent colour) meets 
a grey border, and the image is resized (especially if resized smaller), 
there will be on this edge a new pixel that has part of the grey border and 
the white background.   Most resizing operations will change the pixel to 
light grey/cream whereas I want to tell it to either use the original grey 
or the white background only for any pixels on the edge.
