ImageMagick also has a program called 'display' which has the functions your user needs. Unlike 'convert', which is a command line driven program, 'display' has a simple GUI menu driven interface which makes it easier to use for individual images. On the other hand, if your user needs to process a bunch of images in a similar way, building a script around 'convert' would be the way to go. Paul -- Paul D.
