Kernel resampling etc myself (see the screenshots on <A

use it for), so I know how to resize images properly while maintaining
quality.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

because personally I don't have any problems resizing images either in code or
using tools such as Irfanview (I'm a photographer as well, so I know a fair
bit about image sharpening etc too).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<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>

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>
