    Determine the final size (pixels) of the designated area on the screen then use standard photo processing software (e.g. Photoshop) to adjust your bitmap to that size. Then you control the final product. The display wiwll show it without any changes.

    In other words, don't use "Stretch to Fit " option for the bitmap. Stretch to fit uses a mathematical algorithm and does what it thinks will make the bitmap look the best which isn't always what you want.

    Paint.net is super software for your images. And it's free!

    It has greatly simplified my workload with Cmore projects.
