Albacore, thank you for your suggestion but I really was aware of the benefits of batch processing, I was looking for what to put into the action (or script).

Egg, I fear you're right because I had tried it manually with different resize/resolution options and I couldn't find any that worked, there was a definite trade-off. So I guess I'll have to do 190 again.

I guess I lost the resolution during the copy/paste operation. The reason I was doing that was to obtain the exact colour (0,102,204) which Inspiration saves out at (0,97,206). No, they're not that dfferent but the second one isn't safe but I'm going to use it anyway.

Thanx, anyway, this was helpful in making up my mind!
