  • In the Resize Type box, select one of the available resizing types: Biliniar Resample, Bicubic Resample, or resizing with No Interpolation. The comparative quality and speed characteristics for these types are provided below:
    • Biliniar Resample - quality: good, speed: medium;
    • Bicubic Resample - quality: best, speed: slowest;

• Click the OK button.
  Note. The icon/cursor image is not resized if the icon/cursor already has an image with the same format (same size and color depth).
