You can avoid this by disabling antialiasing. I don't know how you are drwaing your circle. If you use the EllipseSelect tool and fill the selection, disable antialiasing in the EllipseSelect tool options. If you are stroking the selection, use the Pencil to stroke. > Likewise if I create a small bitmap (say 5 x 5 pixels) and set these > pixels to the values I want, expanding the image in Gimp creates pixels > of intermediate colours. It does not do this if you change the Interpolation type to Nearest-Neighbor in the Preferences dialog. Salut, Sven
