Hi Dinocwp,
I think you might have been asking about the resizing settings in PSP?
At the bottom of the "Resize" dialog (Menu -> Image -> Resize) is a checkbox for "Advanced Settings". With that checked, you can see a few more options:
Resample Using lets you pick what method PSP will use to calculate each pixel's color the new resized image.
"Smart Size" generally works great for most things, but you can have a play with different options there and see if maybe others work a little better for very small images.
With "Bicubic" selected, you can also play with the sharpness slider below. When moved to the "sharp" end, narrow lines and clear edges in your resized picture will be very clear but can be a little jagged. At the "smooth" end, there won't be any jaggies at all but you can lose a bit of detail.
With "Pixel Resize" selected you'll get very rough looking results but it can be useful sometimes when you absolutely don't want any anti-aliasing to occur during resizing.
Lock Aspect Ratio is important too. When checked, PSP automatically makes sure that if you change the width - the height also changes so that your image doesn't get stretched or squashed.

Heinz - hehe, forgive the spam but I can't help but mention this: un-supervised content-aware image resizing in a web page.
It demonstrates an image who's aspect ratio changes dynamically as the user's browser window resizes but which doesn't distort while doing so. Its a Java applet BTW.
