All the layers are different sizes, so I don't think this would work, 
would it? Unless you mean what Ofnuts described, resizing by a pixel, 
and then resizing again to return to the original canvas size. I never 
would have thought of that trick.

Thanks! for checking. Actually I did try, but I couldn't tell what was 
happening. I should have spent more time experimenting to determine what 
was really happening.

Hi Ofnuts,

Thanks much! for the trick and the script. Hopefully I won't be resizing 
this particular image any further, but the next time I resize an image 
I'll figure out how to use the script, or at least will use the trick.

Best,
