I tried some different filters in Corel Paint X2 on these, besides the resize. My monitor is not doing color very well. It was a 'freebee' with the computer 5 years ago. Dell does not support it anymore. And my graphics card just failed this morning while I was at work. It was not the greatest anyway, but much better than the integrated graphics from the MOBO.
I'll stop resizing. Oh yea, I think I changed to Catmull on the extras, which may have made things sharper than necessary. Another, 'let's see what happens'
