Re: [Digital BW] Sharpening/downsizing for web?

2001-10-31 by Jerry Olson

I wonder if the next update will include 16 bit images?  Someone said
that you couldn't get a picture icon with Genuine fractals. Is this true?

Couldn't you just copy a low res image and paste it in the Get Info box?
(replacing the stn. icon image) That should place a picture icon on the
stn. image on the desktop, no?
