It might improve quality if you have some kind of printing mechanism that upscales by pixel replication or something. Then upscaling in GIMP with bicubic interpolation might very well improve the quality of the resulting image. Agreed you cannot add useful information - but having a fuzzy image is generally better than having a pixellated image. ---- Steve Baker (817)619-2657 (Vox/Vox-Mail) L3Com/Link Simulation & Training (817)619-2466 (Fax) Work: sjbaker@xxxxxxxx http://www.link.com Home: sjbaker1@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.sjbaker.org
