Want to hire a BMax programmer

You can load a image in it's original size and render it in a smaller size with GDI+, so the best way would be to load the big images one by one. I mean, have a function that receives the image in it's original size, and using the render image of the GDI+, returns a small snapshot (a new image with a small size). This way, you don't need to have all big images loaded at the same time. It's the quickest way to do that on GDI+.
by the way, wouldn't it be great to have a Twain library for BlitzMax...?
