Please can someone tell me what I can do about the following problem? I undertook my first digital photography job yesterday which included an image of a chap working at his new invention. The piece of equipment he is using has a tall, narrow stem. The original file is 30cm by 20cm. The stem on the equipment is then about 3mm wide on the screen. When I reduce the size of the image to something suitable for a web page the stem is very jagged. This doesn't look good at all. What can I do? Is my fledgling career about to hit the buffers? I tried using the smudge tool on it but it looked a mess. Thanks in advance, all those who ride to the rescue. Should I attach a file with this kind of question? marzipanlil
