Bingo.. you see my problem and why my post was so wishy-washy. Imagemagick is a pain in the ass for a novice to install plus you must have your own server. I don't know of any possible way for a shared host to install an image processor.
Having said that, you can still have a successful gallery without thumbnails, but the page loads are horrendous. My gallery.php gets over 2000 hits a day from the users browsing each other's photos. I built the script with variables for number of pics per page, num of rows/cols per page, etc.. so if you want to show 4 per page, it would be a bit faster.
DAMN I want it like freddy's, sizing on the fly! We're having our own server built now... (yea, 165 online last night & a shared host! haha I'm query-cache-man! no other way our site would still run)
