zImage.inFile="file.jpg"
test=zImage.LastError
zImage.outResizeType=0 ′ Resize by PCT
zImage.outPct=50 ′ Set size to 50%
zImage.outJpgQuality=100 ′ Store with least compression
zImage.outFilter=6 ′ Use Lanczos3 filter for resizing
zImage.outFile="out.jpg"
test=test+zImage.LastError
zImage.MakeFile ′ Create the file
test=test+zImage.LastError
Set zImage=Nothing
%>
