[SLUG] resizing jpegs

[Ross Kendall]

Hi Martin,

Not directly answering your question, which Andy already has, apart from 
to mention there is a plugin for the Gimp -

If you are considering using a website content management system like 
Drupal (http://drupal.org/), it can look after resizing images for you. 
It is possible to configure Drupal so that you can upload hi-res images 
and it will resize them to appropriate sizes depending upon the page or 
context. (Sometimes you might want to reduce them a bit first to save 
upload time and web server disk space, especially if they are very hi-res.)

This website I built with Drupal which provides an example of what it 
can do: http://www.cultureandwellbeing.org.uk/ (running on a Linux 
server of course!)

Also, there are website image gallery systems (such as Gallery 
http://gallery.menalto.com/ ) which do dynamic resizing using 
ImageMagick or GD libraries.

Cheers,
Ross.
