Hi folks, I'm having trouble with Image::Magick.

For some time it's been quite happily resizing gifs for me, now I want it to do the same with jpegs. Something's going wrong in the conversion to or from a blob - I've narrowed it down to the following: 


#the original blob is in $blobdata - if I print it out here
# then I can see it's fine (exists, looks right).

#in the following line I've tried jpeg,jpg,JPG
my $image=Image::Magick->new(magick=>'JPEG');
$image->BlobToImage($blobdata);

my $newblob = $image -> ImageToBlob() ;
print $newblob; 
#at this point, $newblob appears to be empty

Any ideas gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,
andy.
