And, after further *close* attention to your request, I don't know how to resize to a particular space-on-disk as 200kb, only by dimention at a particular pixel screen resolution. There are many more parameters available to "stack" onto the example above that will further define the output image. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google-Labs-Picasa-for-Linux" group.
