[Derek Bump]

Ok, what is the resizeQuality property and how does it work?  I tested it
out and I'm not noticing any differences.

> This DEMO stack

> Make the stack "altResizeImg" as a substack of your main stack.

> THEN DEFAULT IS "JPEG"
>
> tSize IS THE MAXWIDTH OR MAXHEIGHT IN PIXELS. ALL IMAGES ARE RESIZED
> PROPORTIONALLY

> tMode IS EITHER "MaxHeight" or "MaxWidth" AND TELL THE HANDLER WHICH ONE

> tJpgQual IS OPTIONAL AND TELLS WHAT JPEGQUALITY TO SAVE AS. DEFAULT IS 90
