Not that I know. But maybe, and here I do ask on to the other people on the list, a hack like this could work: Pick the scalling tool on gimp, and modify the code in a way that antialiasing works to darken a pixel (thus spreading a black letter over to white areas), but preventing it from lighten

Hello, we have a lot of document scans, all sized 2432x3482 pixels, and would like to reduce them to screen size (for example to 682x1000). The problem is that the standard scale algorithm renders the document unreadable (some text characters can still be recognised, others not any more). Is t

My guess is that this is because of the interpolation when resampling. Makes it less easily compressable. (Notice the 'anti-aliased' edges in the resized picture?) Marco Wessel On Wed, 4 Jun 2003, Daniel Carrera wrote: > Hi, > > This is really weird. I have a PNG image. I tried to make it s

Hi, This is really weird. I have a PNG image. I tried to make it smaller by resizing it down, but instead it got BIGGER. I don't understand this at all. I put the images on the web: Original: http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/screenshot.png Resized: http://www.math.umd.edu/~dcarrera/scre

I use pngs rather than GIFs because of the legal problems. All works well for my linux browsers but I hit problems with IE !! To get a transparent png which works with IE I have to ... draw it in the gimp, save as gif ... execute ... gif2png utility and hey presto my image works in IE with transpa
