Hi Bill,

Yes, I have noticed this before.

It occurs with the Windows API StretchDiBits call in TResizeTransform, when the image

becomes too large. It is definitely dependent on image format. For example I was able to

resize a 256 color image to 999%, but the same image in true color gave a black rectangle at
900%. This is not much I can do about this. I also is probably related to the OS and video

as are many issues with large image sizes. I could change the code to raise an exception,

but that may be more disruptive.

Best regards,

Michel
