The following is some information about using Kodak Image Controls, which I
understand to be free, to work with graphics files.  Maybe it might be
helpful to you.

Coral

if your running NT or 2000, then Microsoft supplies you with the Kodak
Image Controls (IMGEDIT.OCX, IMGTHUMB.OCX, IMGSCAN.OCX, IMGADMIN.OCX).
With these controls you can administer, edit (and print) and scan images
of all sorts of formats (including TIFF format). You can even create and
work with thumbnails and annotations. There are a few things to remind
when using these controls.

The controls are not installed with the standard windows installation. You
have to explicitly choose the option 'Imaging support' during the initial
install or you have to install them later on.

You're not allowed to distribute the controls. Every customer has to have
the controls installed from his copy of windows.

Under NT the controls are called 'Wang Imaging Controls'.

You can buy older versions from Kodak, if you need the controls for
95/98/Me.

Hi,


I want to make Thumbnail of a picture file and print it in report. Can
anyone suggest how can a thumbnail be made out of a picture file through
VB. Any code or information will be appreciated.

Thanx
