Size is relative! You can have a small picture (physical dimensions) with a large pixel density using a large number of colours. This will result in a 'large' file. Conversely, you can have a 'large' picture with a small pixel density and just two colours. This results in a smaller file. The more 'complex a picture is (size, density and colours), the more processing power is required to create a thumbnail from the original image. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
