<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>Resizing images for Images,
bitButtons and icons - I guess we all do this.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>I have used IrfanView and Photofiltre
for resizing images, and noticed they tend to alter the edge pixels around
an image - I guess it averages the pixel colours on a sharp edge if
resizing smaller. This is a problem with images with a background surround
- these pixels are not the transparent background colour any more and create a
ragged edge noticeable when the image is on a darker background.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>How do others resize images
properly?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>(Example is the Analogue clock with
the image background some are using- over a dark background you may see there
are a fewer light pixels around the edge that shouldn't be there)</FONT></DIV>
