Thanks xantor and ellemat. Thanks for your tips and suggestions. Let me rephrase my question again. I have photos 2300 x1700 at 72 dpi. I have been told that some of the images with lesser resolution pixalate when you render them. Can someone please educate me on this?? I enclose here an image at it's optimum size duly zipped. This picture has been poste edited to look a bit more arty. Could someone please try it out and tell me what it lacks, thank you. SNAKEY
