Yes, that makes sense, but I tend to do that kind of processing in Photoshop.

I wonder whether Qimage’s interpolation and sharpening is an improvement on PS’s, will have to give it a try.

I use Qimage rather than just QTR for 2 reasons:
1) Qimage's great interpolation for resizing.
2) Qimage's Smart Sharpening
