Hello,

I am having trouble with an existing VB6 project and very large jpg files from digital cameras. Recent technology means that we are getting images exceeding 5000 pixels wide and 5000 high, when this occurs we cant load the images into vb as it causes an out of memory error.

Does anyone know of a way I can convert the images down to a smaller size without needing to load them into vb memory first?

The problem has arrisen as customers can transfer their own photos onto the machine via USB, these customers are not normally skilled enough to convert the photos themselves on their own pc's so unfortunately this isnt an option

Anyone seen this before and have any advice?

Thanks

Paul
