I checked the original image. Seems there's no problem at all. In fact, my wrapper doesn't even emit any warnings for the first image directory. And the image is read correctly, no (partially) blank lines (columns, in fact, I noticed the original image is rotated too) whatsoever. So if you do get any warnings, I would like to take a look at them. Seems that my original guess was wrong. If I were you, I'ld search for the problem further down the road, perhaps in the code that makes the thumbnail image. Can't help with that, though. There is a problem in the second image directory (not that this has anything to do with problem you reported, of course). I get an error about the ImageLength tag missing. > > I can elaborate on one way to get you started on the second task. > wow... it's _that_ complicated? It might not have to be.

In that case, it should be a breeze. But why (pretend to) use cmyk if it's nothing but inverted RGB?
