There are probably 2 (or more ;-) ways to do this...

1. Use Trevors excellent QT External to create a preview image of ANY 
size...


2. Built-in solution: no external required :-)

Size your original image as you like (lock loc!)
Create a new image and script:

...
set the width of img "the new one" to the widht of img "the original 
one"
set the height of img "the new one" to the heigth of img "the original 
one"

set the imagedata of img "the new one" to the imagedata of img "the 
original one"
...

Now you have a new image that you can export as jpg or do whatever you 
want with :-)

Hope that helps...
