Re: [Gimp-user] reduce resolution while retaining image size on computer

[Kasim Ahmic <kasim ahmic gmail com>]

Eh, if he's just trying to drop the quality by keeping the same size, it's best to just scale the image down 
and back up again with no interpolation. Like you said, using CSS would look awful cause all browsers will 
scale the image up with interpolation unless he wants to use an HTML canvas and use tricks there but that's 
not even worth the hassle.
