Transparency
</H4>
<P>
Type: By default Gimp has a checker bord pattern built up of mid tone gray
checks. You can however change that in the drop down menu. NOTE: That white,
black and gray only checks disables checks and the transparency will be shown
as a solid black, white or gray color.
<P>
Check Size: The size of the checkers in the pattern that indicates transparency.
NOTE: If you have set the checker type to white, gray or black only then
then the size will have no effect what so ever.
<H4>
Scaling
</H4>
<P>
When you scale a image (make it bigger) you have to fill in missing pixels
what color and value that those pixels should have is calculated in a
interpolation algorithm . Gimp uses a Linear interpolation algorithm by default.
Linear is a gives you a mid quality interpolation. Linear interpolation has
less quality trade off for speed that Nearest Neighbour interpolation algorithm
does. Nearest Neighbour is the fastest way to interpolate but it has the
lowest quality of the interpolation algorithms. The Cubic interpolation algorithm
produces the highest quality of the three interpolation types supported by
Gimp. However it is considerable slower that the linear interpolation algorithm.
