Really? I have a Canon ESO 20D (8.5Mpixel). Its JPEG images are 3504x2336
in size and Imagemagick seems to handle them fine.

I sftp them from my Powerbook to my Alpha. I import the pix from one of the
many compact flash cards I have using a PCMCIA flash card adapter -- USB is
just to blindly s-l-o-w! -- into iPhoto. I then export them to a folder for
sftp. There's not processing of the images on anything but the Alpha.

I process them in a DCL procedure using Imagemagick CONVERT once to determine
the orientation (landscape or portrait) and then twice to create the smaller
images I put up on my site and the thumbnails. In fact, the whole procedure
writes the HTML code for this (my pages with the javascript scroller).

What are you using for a camera? How big are your pix?
