Mostly, I'm running wild in the candy store. Here is something specific. I don't have anything better than AppleWorks for paint. I noticed that in Revolution I can scale images by dragging. But if I make them smaller they get a halo about them when they are over color. It seems the edges are softened to white rather than transparent. And... Scaling doesn't seem to lose information. If I make my images big and then scale them smaller, do I still use all the memory of a big image? So... I thought that I'd make a little editor that softens edges with transparent when scaled down. (If something already does this, it is OK to tell me.) To make it easier, scaling is 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 and a new image is created. Later, I might want to make some transparent highlights such as LED glare. This is just to get familiar with features and other aspects of Revolution; this is no critical project.
