By coincidence, I found an artilce in PDN today that talks about fractiles. It's quite like what was in that program that competed with Photoshop that could change an image size up to 100 megs with no loss in quality. I forgot about that program. Too bad it never made it. I'm sure it's price of $1,500 was one problem, and it was too late when they finally dropped the price to a reasonable level. Anyway, Tina, I stand corrected. You don't get better quality, but the quality doesn't go down. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA Zen master to hotdog vendor. "Make me one with everything."
