Post subject: Screen Door...???
Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>graphics (more info?)

i've been processing a whole bunch of old & very old family pictures
that my mother let me scan,
and while correcting the colors of Evil Kodacolor & Kodachrome prints,
and adjusting contrast, filling in cracks & dust spots and so on...

i've found it prudent to reduce them down before posting them on
Flickr ( Account: Chrstphre )
And Often; after reducing them with Graphic Converter, they will take
on a decidedly Gridular, or Screen Door appearance...??? As if i were
looking at them through a screen door...!

i've pretty much decided that this is due to some weird algorythmic
anomaly that could be remedied by reducing them at a quantified
proportion that is calculated with original size & desired size in
mind...

i have every confidence that i could figure this out on my own with
lots of deep thought, and plenty of trail & error, but it might be
quicker if i wait 24 hours and let one of you genius' tell me what the
formula is...???

Thanx!

Somebody from the Graphics group replied to this quite awhile ago, and
explained that the reduction feature has several different settings,
and by toying around with that, i cleared it up...

Thanx for asking though...!

Uh...
i think i missed the point...
When wanting to share an image with the group, i think that it would
probably be just as easy to post it on my Flickr account; include that
address in the post here, then delete it from Flickr later...
Flickr is very easy with things like that...

It just occurred to me that this IS the graphics group, and assuming
that i only posted this once...
i don't know where the answer came from, but i distinctly remember the
advice...???
