Mmm. Maybe I misspelled something.
I meant that this program cuts rectangles from the original images, all of them with the same proportions. Like if you were cutting cookies from the paste for baking (lol). It then resizes all the resulting images to fit your thumbnail size. You're right. There's some info left out, but I believe it's better than deforming. I was about to try ImageMagik, but I found it's commercial, and I don't think my application is worth of it. HAND. -rm- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randal L.
