Michael Thanks! I downloaded the program and will see what it can do. The system that uses the photos is written in VFP 6 and, of course, VFP Paint is in version 9. It was wasn't that the photo tool had to be in VFP but it seemed to do what was required before the file bloat to 14.1 MP and I was able to create an interface that stepped through the 100 folders grabbing and editing the images in batch mode. I appreciate the help. Best regards
