It does so many essential things, including a variety of methods for printing contact sheets for any number of images of any file type. Can't say enough good things about this app.

It is located under automate in the file menu. There is a light version of adobe album that's free but I don't know it's limitations. J. Stuart J.

I love Thumbsplus, but its kinda overkill in my situation, however I have convinced my boss to buy it so we can use it at work. I couldnt figure out how to do it in Image Magick, so I dropped this one. Irfanview did a good job, but the way how Photoshop does it is what I need. Thanx again.

The documentation for it is very hard to understand. It sounds like you have solved your problem. Just in case you or anyone else wants to try using ImageMagick to create thumbnails in the future the command you would use is code: mogrify -geometry 100x75 image.gif This command will change the size of image.gif. Image.gif will have the same aspect ratio as before the transformation and will be no larger than 100 piexls across and 75 pixels down. Since the command modifies your original image in place you should make a copy of your image and mogrify the copy. -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
