OK. I'm confused here. It has been my experience that if you blow up a GIF image too much, the image loses quality due to the face that the image is a bunch of pixels being drawn absolutly. Text gets "jaggies" quickly under this scenario. That is why Postscript uses algorythms to scale text larger instead of just blowing up the pixels. I would assume that this would be true for many other image types as well. Highly ditherable but not already dithered images would benefit from being blown up better than others, but images that the designer dithers suffer from scaling problems. Can you explain "how" legibility increases with significant size enlargement? Mary
