Thank you so much for answering so clearly, and so quickly! :)

I've been playing with it for a few minutes now, and it looks like it can do what I need. Thanks!

Is Gaussian blur what I should use to try to get rid of Bitmapping if I enlarge a digital color picture, too?

Hi there!

Hmmm...Yes... and as far as I know it can cure any disease, and turn plumbum into gold. :-)

Just kidding - but it's really a usefull tool, this blurring. I first met it even before using the GIMP, for making drop shadows by hand.

Just the other day, I met someone who would use Gaussian Blur to make a better "detect edges" than the filters built with this purpose.

And I certeinly use it to eliminate some of the aliasing when I enlarge pictures. Just rest certain to set interpolation type to Cubic, in the
(main)File->Preferences->Enviroment->Scaling settings. It wil;l certainly do you more good than gaussian blurring in this case.

At least with my black and white scans, I'm also finding that using Curves to make the gray colors whiter and the black colors blacker (after gaussian blurring and contrast adjustments) are allowing me to remove the bitmapping from black and white work that I've scaled up too.

Thanks for the help finding all these great new toys! :)
