 | I have seen .net programs which can actually / truley resize an image
on the fly. This way, only one image is uploaded to a site (say the
larger image) and then when you view a page of thumbnails, the
thumbnails can actually be created on the fly at a specific size. This
can help a site load much quicker as some sites simply constrain an
image to a smaller thumbnail even though the end-user is downloading
the whole original large image (thus the page takes a much longer time
to load). It can be very time consuming to make 2 images (a small
thumbnail and a larger image for every image), thus I have seen a few
image manipulation programs which can do this for you on the fly on a
web site.
Has anyone seen one of these as a module plug-in / addition for
Oscommerce?

(www.aspin.com) that doesnt need registering and works in shared hosting
environments - as for oscommerce ive no idea - never used it.
