The problem is not file size but resolution. If you've seen Arabeske
you know it outputs to a black and white and somewhat small image
(unless you have a decent JVM and the multi windows work for you).
Interpolation doesn't work for the same reason you can't render a
160x120 pic and stretch it to 800x600 to get the same result as if
you've rendered it big... there's a lack of image information. I tried
bilinear and bicubic in PhotoShop and even fractal interpolation in
Corel Draw to no avail. Maybe the best way is good old Paint? :)
The question remains open (probably needs a separate thread in
.general...)
Regards,
Peter
