Paint Shop Pro Q's

[Joe Schallan]

Hello list,

I downloaded PSP and have been trying it out.
A few questions:

What is the distinction between "Resize" and
"Resample"?   Technically, I know what each
term means, but with the image I was using
as a test I got the same appearance when
I resampled as I got when I resized.

Upon resizing aforementioned image (a GIF
line drawing of our library), I got considerable
jaggies where previously I had none.  Though
I realize this is an inevitable artifact of
a process that reduces bits in a rasterized
image, does PSP provide a good tool for
dejagging?  I tried the resident tools and none
worked too well (there's a smoothing function,
for exampe).  Did I miss something?

Can I reprocess a GIF in PSP to make it
transparent?  (Couldn't find this, either.)

Yeah, yeah, I should probably just buy it,
get the manual, and read it.

Benighted in Ariz., I am,

Gratefully yours,

Joe

PS.  Private replies probably appropriate on
this one . . .
