Hi Dave,

Glad to see you're back from vacation, and thanks for responding.

Good point about the cropping, but I'm pretty sure all of the images are being used "full frame." Most of them are either video screenshots or ai files used iconically, with a few photos thrown in, which would be the only ones that might have a problem.

This booklet part of the project is really mostly the responsibility of the senior member of my team, but she has less ID experience than I do, so I'm looking over her shoulder to make sure things will work. I'll check on the cropping and get back to you. My gut says even if it affects one or two images adversely, it would be faster to run a script like this and fix the mistakes manually than to go through 32 pages and do the frames on at a time.

I thought that CS would keep the scaling, but having updated my CS2 a couple of weeks ago and being very unpleasantly surprised, I'm adopting a "belt and suspenders" approach. It seems like this might be a generally useful script for the "new and improved" CS2 as well.

I'll get back to you as soon as I hear about the cropping issue.

Peter
