Tom, I use Dreamweaver, you can download a trial from the Macromedia website. Interface is different from most other HTML editing software, shouldnt take long to get used to it and once you do its an extremely powerful edit program. Thanks, Paul - Original Message - From: aimcompute

Hi Tom, Your assertion is correct. Bigger files make better prints. But just for the sake of clarification, I don't downsample my high res images. I scan 35mm transparencies at 4000 ppi, then print them on my Epson 1200 o about a 10 x7 format. Resizing without resampling gives me a file of about
