JPEG encoding requires the rough equivalent of a Fourier transformation on the data; once that is undertaking, bitmapped operations on the image are no longer possible. So one cannot really separate them. Not all encoding formats impose this constraint, but I haven't heard of any software that separates the two processes, just the same. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe by mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with 'unsubscribe filmscanners' or 'unsubscribe filmscanners_digest' (as appropriate) in the message title or body
