Hello people,

I haven't found anything on my search quest so far, so this is my next stop

I want my application to create a thumbnail picture from a source image. We'll stick to the 3 formats bmp, jpg and gif. You need to have the option to maintain aspect ratio, and add a special effect like a shadow or something. The format of the loaded picture can also differ from the destination thumbnail.

My experience with this is nihil. Is this possible in VB? Can anyone help me to get started? I don't need any full working code (of course, it WOULD be handy if you could provide it ) and it's not my intention to make a graphics editor either. I just want to make some kind of custom-made thumbnail generator.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
