set the cImg of this cd to the text of img 1 -- store it
-- now resize the image as a thumbnail here
set the imagedata of img 1 to the imagedata of img 1 -- reduce the 
size/compress it
set the text of img 1 to the cImg of this cd -- restore original
-- optional:
set the width of img 1 to the formattedwidth of img 1
set the height of img 1 to the formattedheight of img 1
