footnote: if you're creating thumbnails from JPEG or PhotoCD images, using the "thumbnail" method can be a lot more efficient (unlike resize, it tweaks the codec so it doesn't have to load the entire full-sized image). footnote 2: Image.ANTIALIAS is slower, but tends to give a much better result than Image.BILINEAR, especiall for "noisy" images. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
