That's because NIH-Image is designed as a scientific image processing
and analysis tool...you _never_ throw away pixels in such images..you're
throwing out data.
At the height of the anti-Apple bigotry around here, we had one new
faculty member lose months worth of time trying to adapt from her Macs
and NIH-Image to using Photoshop and Windows to analyzie her
photomicrographs...stupid stupid stuff
NIH-Image is one reason for the disproportionate representation of macs
in the life sciences.
