in thread How to create JPEG of specified size

I do not want the junk to be ignored.

What does "ignored" mean? Clearly you're not expecting to do anything with the image. That sounds like a kind of ignoring.

My suggestion would be to add bulk in the jpeg comment: 

my $jpeg = create_jpeg( height => 1, width => 1 );
save_jpeg_file( $jpeg, $file );
insert_jpeg_comment( $jpeg, ' ' x ($desired_size - (-s $file)) ); # bu
+lk up the comment
save_jpeg_file( $jpeg, $file );
# adjust again if necessary.

    jdporter,

    I have no idea what gave you that impression. Just because I am not authorized to describe how it is going to be used or why a fake of the same physical size should be a viable substitute doesn't mean that the fake will not be processed.

    In the 5 minutes I have researched JPEG comments it appears that this indeed will be a good way of taking a tiny valid JPEG and expanding it to any desired size. Thank you. After I get it working and test it I will post a CUFP or something.

    Cheers - L~R
