Sorry, should have clarified, file size rather than dimensions.

Ta.

 Subject: Images/Videos of exact size
 
 
 I need to test out an uploader, specifically the size limitations. I've
 made
 text files of the exact sizes needed but I was wondering about doing
 the
 same with images.
 
 Does anyone know how I can create JPGs and/or MPGs/AVIs/MOVs of a
 specific
 size? I'm guessing I need to take one and pad it with data, but I'm
 uncertain how.
 
 Any pointers?
 
 Adrian

Determine the maximum size of image for your system. Then, obtain
a photograph or scan with a size greater than that. Use the
resample or crop functions of your image editor to reduce the size
until you get down to the file sizes you want. You could also
experiment with scanning various sizes on your scanner. You will
want to bracket several files with sizes around your limit.

For movies, find some file with size a little larger than you want.
Use an editor to clip off parts until you get a series of files
that bracket your limit.

I have also used PDFs a lot for uploading so you can create a lot
of those easily.

Or, find someone who likes to do this sort of thing and have them
do it for you. Graphics folks are usually interested in the work.
  Good luck, Roger
