Post subject: Screen Door...???
Archived from groups: comp>sys>mac>graphics (more info?)

i've been processing a whole bunch of old & very old family pictures
that my mother let me scan,
and while correcting the colors of Evil Kodacolor & Kodachrome prints,
and adjusting contrast, filling in cracks & dust spots and so on...
i've found it prudent to reduce them down before posting them on
Flickr ( Account: Chrstphre )
And Often; after reducing them with Graphic Converter, they will take
on a decidedly Gridular, or Screen Door appearance...??? As if i were
looking at them through a screen door...!
i've pretty much decided that this is due to some weird algorythmic
anomaly that could be remedied by reducing them at a quantified
proportion that is calculated with original size & desired size in
mind...
i have every confidence that i could figure this out on my own with
lots of deep thought, and plenty of trail & error, but it might be
quicker if i wait 24 hours and let one of you genius' tell me what the
formula is...???
Thanx! |

Somebody from the Graphics group replied to this quite awhile ago, and
explained that the reduction feature has several different settings,
and by toying around with that, i cleared it up...
Thanx for asking though...! >> Stay informed about: Screen Door...??? |

Uh...
i think i missed the point...
When wanting to share an image with the group, i think that it would
probably be just as easy to post it on my Flickr account; include that
address in the post here, then delete it from Flickr later...
Flickr is very easy with things like that... >> Stay informed about: Screen Door...??? |

It just occurred to me that this IS the graphics group, and assuming
that i only posted this once...
i don't know where the answer came from, but i distinctly remember the
advice...??? >> Stay informed about: Screen Door...??? |
