i picked png because they looked the same to me (i have poor vision) and the gif was smaller. >(side note: at that point GIMP is no longer involved, so I'm wondering >if this can can continue on the Gimp-user list). i agree. this looks like ghostscript is what i should be fooling around with. i looked for gs mailing lists, but just found these: http://ghostscript.com/mailman/listinfo/ - it doesn't look like the is a mailing list for users :) thanks to all for your help. --- co-chair http://ocjug.org/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
