Hi Tony, thanks for your quick response. I try to scale down (size down?) the picture what I later want to paste. The to scale image has this size: 1164x806 px. So I thought it should be no problem of the quality right? I will try the qtype option with mixing. But I have still a question: Is there any anti-aliasing working in the background, during I scale? If it is, where can I switch of this funtionality? Kind regards, jfro
