Thank,s everyone for your help..I guess I'll try a few scenarios on a same image to see...and never buy another apn with only jpeg options :-( I've notice what you mentionned Dough..but thaught that it was my imagination as Acdsee seems to do a better job for resizing to! This is a good idea Mihcelle as genuine fractal seems to do a very good job for the jpeg images to resize with soften edges and noise with crispiness! Thank's pascale..!
