Hi Douglas,

like anything else in software development, the idea is simple until you 
realise what the 
knock-on consequences could be!

imho it should work like this:

- User crops/scales image
- User can hit 'save' and the image is saved at full resulotion
- Or right-click on the image and select an option to apply cropping to the 
saved image (plus 
compression to 100/200 dpi) - MSO does this.

- OR, user can set a global option to save images with cropping applied to 
whatever is 
saved.  Maybe another global option to save at 100/200 dpi or the original 
resolution?

You thoughts?

Sounds simple, though I imagine it could be a headache to get right in 
programming.  The 
image would presumably have to get sent out to some sort of JPEG routine, have 
its 
resolution changed, then be sent back.
