Hello again, I have just a question for Toofri or Don. Edwards: Is it better to do three levels (0 to 2) with 2048x2048 picture' size or 5 levels (0 to 4) with 512x 512 ? Bye. From the resulting image quality the result is identical. The main differences come from the loading speed of your harddisk...

Fightspit, I am afraid it just doesn't work the way you think it does. Buy increasing the size of an image you are adding more pixels but you are also blurring the image and so it gives a false sense detail.

What do you think ?

Bye.
