Image rendering in forms

Say I have a picture that also has writing in it, if I resize this picture I want the writing to still be legible. Excel 2007 does this quite effectively, I'm not sure what image rendering/smoothing/anti-aliasing techniques it uses, but the text on the image is still easy to read.

However, when I place an image in a form, and resize it (stretch to fit), no post-processing image rendering is done, and it is nigh impossible to read the text in the image. Is it possible to force Excel to render images in forms in the same rendering engine for images in forms that it uses for images in sheets? Is there anyway to get the images to render in a way that will make the text legible?

Oh, and please don't suggest that I save a copy of the image at a lower resolution, I am dealing with hundreds of images so that isn't feasible.

I am assuming that you are using image controls on your userform. Correct? Irregardless, you resize the picture, on the fly within Excel,and then assign the resized picture hwnd to your image control's picture property..

If you will provide me with an example picture in its original dimensions and the dimensions of the image control you are rendering it in, I can probably help you.
