extracting the thumbnail from digital photos?

[Paul Hibbert]

Thank you Alejandro for posting this. I've tried it on OS X and found it works well.

I've also tried it with the JPEGS straight from a Nikon camera and it works with them too, and it works on PSD files that are saved with a thumbnail image.

Regards,

Paul
