Hi,
I talked about this little toy in the put last night.
Normally if you just resize an image in photoshop or other photo editing software using biocubic, mitchell etc resizing you get a whole load of noise and the end image looks really nasty (unless you do a manual resize by adding 5% more recursively in Photo Shop). Is you use the ImageSizer from Mirosoft see Microsoft Power Toys (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx) you can just right click on the image and re-size to the required screen image size without any noise being introduced, see example below: -

Works great - just tried on one of my old saturn images & result is as below....
