I've spend 6 hours tracing both the photo demo and the raw AIL library
calling AdvImgLib.cAdvancedImagery_ASP run the exact same processes
using the same image and the photo software demo creates a compressed
jpg file where the ASP process will generate a huge jpg file.

An example would be Original 33k to 633k (After Processing)

Yes, the Convert_To24 function was used after all effects calls :)

I believe the issue my be related to IIS and windows 2003 processing
but not sure also create a com object with IIS support to wrap around
the dll and still get the same results.

Any thoughts .. ??
