I have a need for the capability to re-size images. I have no need to  
do anything other than re-size images. Having searched the posts in  
this group, it seems that the conventional solution is to use  
ImageMagick/MiniMagick. That seems like a lot of horsepower and  
resources to accomplish this simple task. So, before I start down  
this path, I’d just like to inquire as to whether anyone has any other  
approaches that I should consider. Thanks for any input.
