If so that's expected: if you double its size each pixel in the image now occupies 4 pixels (a 2x2 block) and this gets noticeable. You can get odd effects by reducing a picture too, though generally reducing its size more or less works because this combines pixels by averaging them. The only programs that can do this well are those like GIMP, Photoshop or most web browsers which rescan the image and transform it into a new set of pixels. Even they pixellate if you blow a picture up much past its natural size, but usually can do a decent job of making it smaller. Bottom line: rescaling an image is a non-trivial exercise and its one that a lot of programs don't do well. This is especially true if you're adjusting the image size by altering the screen resolution and the program is one that was never designed or written to rescale images. Martin
