[pstricks] Help With Letterhead Logo

[Henry Proudhon]

Hello,

good work Jean-Côme, I would just add something (not really pstricks 
related but...)

Angelo,
Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think you're not happy with your logo because 
it does not appear nicely smooth on your web page.
I've looked the code on your actuel web page, and I've seen your image 
is 251x130px and you resize it to 256x137. That's why your logo looks 
sharp.
If you can, *Never* resize an image since it will not look smooth in 
most of the cases (consider rather make a copy of a different size).

With the PSTricks logo, It won't be different, you will need to convert 
your image after that (jpg in most of the cases). btw, dont' forget to 
add some transparency.
The fact is you will loose the ability of the eps image to be resized 
nicely.

If you need more info, I can give you via private mail.

hope this helps, if i'm out of the scope please ignore this !

Henry
