What I should have added... should we add a small gui that adds these PPAs? Something that explains the the benefits and risks and then has buttons to add PPAs individually with perhaps a list of apps available there. As with all installers this would have to be sudo using pkexec or something similar. (I happen to know that pk comes with ubuntu already) I would do this with tk/tcl (which we include already) but others might use the python equiv. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

It is in the works. It is actually quite trivial. I have done office, dtp, effects, midi, mixers, and synths so far. I can include things that are not on the ubuntu repos and if the user adds the PPA that goes with them they will work after that. For example, I have included non-mixer in the mixers, but it doesn't show up right now. However if the user adds the kxstudio ppa, it will. Please send me a list of applications it might be useful to add this way. (I already will add kritta) I need the exact name of the package. Anyone else can send package names too please. -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Downsampling an image also introduces artifacts, mostly those related to aliasing (although this depends on the algorithm used) like Emmet said. Rendering a bitmap from a vector at the desired resolution bypasses this problem (although this too has its limitations like Emmet mentioned).
