The vast majority of gimp users are Linux/some-form-of-UNIX users, so that tends to be what we (or, at least, I) assume.

First of, as JPEG is a lossless format, different images will end up at different pixel sizes to reach the same file size. I mean, if you've got a low-key image that's predominantly black (or some other image that JPEG works well on), you'd have to make the thing enormous to hit that. Secondly, upsampling the image doesn't increase the amount of information in the image, so you're essentially just wasting disk space for no gain. If there were a minimum pixel size, I could see upsampling the image to meet that. A minimum file size, though? No way. Are you sure they want you to upsample the image to meet the file size requirement? Are you sure it's not just the case that they want images from a medium-format digital back or something like that? --xsdg _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
