When using Internet Explorer (version 5.50) is the any way I can use PMView directly to view an image file without having to save the file and then open the saved file with PMView.

Thanks for that reply. Whether the effect appears better (to me) or not does depend on the image. At least I don't have to keep rebooting anymore.

For a while I have suspected that the images I was resizing using version 2000 of PMView (Windows) were not as sharp as the ones I resized using the OS2 version (not 2000). Today I confirmed it by resizing the same image using both programs and compared the results. The sharpen filter which comes with 2000 still gives a worse result than with version 1 and in both cases I checked interpolate pixels. Is there anyway I can use version 2000 and get the same results as I did with version 1. This would save rebooting to OS2 and working with 16 colours (my present setup).
