I use ImageMagick. But, there are other ways. I believe merlyn has an article on this somewhere on his site. Cheers, KM	[reply]

I use ImageMagick... you can either use the convert program in backticks, or the PerlMagick module on CPAN, real straightforward - Ant	[reply]

I used WebMagick, which is built on top of ImageMagick. See my gallery at http://LNC.USC.EDU/~brannon	[reply]
