Rich, I think you've lost me. If I'm understanding you correctly, and it's possible I'm not, you're saying I should figure out what part of my image I want to zoom into first. Then I set that part, when at maximum zoom, to the proper pixel count. From there I calculate how many pixels my un-zoomed image has to be? I still don't know how many pixels my image should be, zoomed or not. What is PhotoToMovie? is it a plugin for some app or is it a standalone application?
