Re: Resizing changes sharpness

[Steve Herber <herber thing com>]

I wonder why f-spot has a built-in resize option.  Could it instead have a 
configuration option where you could specify your own resize program?  I 
would probably use ImageMagik or one of the other image manipulation 
packages.  Is such a configuration option offered in f-spot?

Thanks,
