This *might* work for interlaced PNGs. But is there a royalty-free image format for photos that has the following properties: 1) Compressing a photo has the same or better quality/size characteristics as JPEG. 2) To decode the image with both dimensions halved but with visually the same quality as the full image, only the first quarter of data is needed? (E.g. JPEG 2000 tried to be that kind of image format but failed already on technical grounds. IIRC, in practice to decode a JPEG 2000 image with the dimensions halved, you need the first half--not quarter--of the data to get proper quality.) -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
