True. I forgot to mention we decreased our colors back to the original
couunt after the resizing. The only reason i did this was because the
software i was using required it.  The resizing operations i've found in
different packages had a tendency to make the resultant thumbnail look
funny. Resampling seemed to give the better results.  Whatever works,
really. I was just mentioning one way....

Sorry if i jumped in too fast, but i'm glad you found my error....

not a graphics expert...
