Thanks, but this stuff will resize it to 200 by 200 as in the example
or 50% of the original size... But I would like to have the image
bigger horizontally if this is the images original setting... but I
don't want the images original size because someone may upload a huge
image that will take half the screen... so I need to figure out a way
to know if the original image has a bigger width or height...
