Hello, I need to build an image 'library'. The library will consist mostly of images taken with digital cameras. Since unedited digicam pics will most likely be too big for web usage they need to be edited automatically so that they can be put to a web page. I'am trying to deside between two options. To resize (=scale down) the images once they are uploaded to server and store the smaller file or upload and store the original BIG file and scale it to thumbnail once it's viewed. Any opinnions about this. I think that if the disk space is not an issue I could upload the original file. But are there performance issues if the thumbnails are created "on the fly" if there are hundreds of pics? Thanks for your advice -Will

Will, Before you go too far, have you looked at Gallery or Gallery2? Miles -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.1.371 / Virus Database: 267.14.18/230 - Release Date: 1/14/2006
