So the question is ... how should I calculate it? Say I have a 1024x768
screen and my image is larger (a rectangle of say 1900x1200). I want to
avoid letterboxing at all costs. So basically: the new image HAS to fit the
minimum dimensions but can go over in height or width, doesn't matter which.

Thanks Fred - you're always a great help. :-)
