Zaxo, Thanx for replying, I attempted to use -subample, but I can only seem to get it to work when using method (copy). It still appears to try and put a full size image together and then copy a portion of it. This still creates an odd mish-mash looking picture (although it is smaller). I tried using various values for subsample. (1) (2) (2,2) (3,3) (4,4) (3) (4) none of them appear to work properly. Am I doing something wrong?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Tk;
use Tk::Photo;
use Tk::JPEG;
use strict;
my $file="c:/pictures/2005/guns/DSC00101.JPG";
my $w=new MainWindow;
my $image1=$w->Photo(-file=>"$file", -format => 'jpeg');
my $image=$w->Photo();
$image->copy($image1,-subsample=>4);
$b = $w->Button( -image => $image )->pack();
$b->configure(-image => $image);    
&MainLoop;
