sorry, whilst preparing screenshots for you I have fixed my main problem by resizing in photoshop elements rather than paint which seemed to deteriorate quality.

my new question then, is around a vector image - I think this is my preferred option as quality is maintained but can you recommend any software I can used just to resize vector images?

sorry to be a pain. thanks, steph

yes of course. if I save a file as png then open in, say windows, when I print it doesn't easily fit to the paper size I may want. I can use 'fit' to paper but its still probably a bit bigger than I would like.
I can scale it down in 'paint' but lose quality (unless I'm making a hash of that). Will happily use a vector image (as I'm going to upgrade anyway) but I don't currently have software that can edit them I don't think, as I only have photoshop elements.
I REALLY appreciate your help - thank you. I have sent you an email.

Is there an easy way to see if the visualised cloud will fit on a certain size paper? I must have tried to fit the number '40' a hundred times into a size that will fit a 7x5 or 6x4. Being new to this I am creating the number in 'paint' (have used various font sizes 60-150, and currently using narrow ariel). whatever I do the saved image is just too large. Rather than spend anymore time I'm hoping someone with greater knowledge can help?
