Hi.

Increasing the resolution won't increase the quality of an existing 
image.... it can't create detail that isn't there. The only time I can think 
of that you would need to do that is if you want to apply effects to the 
image - then the results will be better if they are applied at a higher 
resolution.

I have Corel Photopaint and to increase resolution you go to Image/resample. 
Note that the resampled image will look bigger on you screen at a higher 
resolution because monitors can only display around 72 or 96 dpi. bmp or jpg 
are generally better than gif for high quality whit jpg having the smallest 
file size by far...

Hope this helps

Duncan
