Hi Drew, there is one problem I think with the default display size when using cookies. If no cookie is present, the photo displays in the preset size of preview, but this is done in the browser by setting height and width accordingly, not by displaying a properly sized picture. The browser is transferring the whole picture!!! Could you please take a look at this or is this my fault?? Saving the default sized picture to disk proves it: it has the full picture size! I noted another new problem while downloading. there seems to be a newly introduced mime problem. The picture is no longer recognized as such but is downloaded as application/octet-stream. The same happens if you try to access a picture directly in the browser like http://zope.server.com/image The browser will try to download it. The earlier photo version did not have this problem Jochen
