[DUG] Handling Jpgs

[Rob van der Linde]

Isn't it the case that when you load the JPEG you have to uncompress it 
anyway regardless, then resize the image (preferably in RAM) and then 
when you resave, recompressing it again? That's how I would do it anyway...

I would first load the JPEG in RAM using standard built in JPEG loading 
routines from Delphi, then use the graphics32 package (Open Source) to 
scale the bitmap, because it provides nice smooth resampling methods, 
rather than uglier nearest-neighbour  resizing found in StretchDraw. I 
would then resave the scaled JPEG.
