Yes but don't. Please resample your images to the exact pixel dimension
you require. Scaling images rather than resampling them means that even
though they may appear smaller on the page you are still downloading the
*whole full-size* image. Secondly the rescaling done by the browser is
far poorer than the results from resampling the image, so it will look
bad as well. Nothing stalls a dialup connection more than a page full of
"thumbnails" that are 1000+ pixel images just scaled on the page!

Take care,
