Wow, now it's the competition to get the smallest file size. Those files look great guys. Anyway, when I get back to the redesign, I'll let you know. And yes, the background image is gone.

You need an alias-smoothing function in your size-changing function. This makes the cogs varying shades of gray, which to the eye looks like a smooth curve.

I have done it with Corel Draw and PhotoImpression 3. Other programs should have this.

One trick which works is:

1. Resample to higher resolution.

2. Change the image size.

3. Resample to desired resolution.

Thanks, but I was able to figure it out with the previous posters replies. I was able to get it down to about 5k and it still looks great! But thanks for the reply anyway. Guess I should have come out and posted that I had it resolved.
