OK OK I have now learned a lot about Windows automaticaly caching viewed web pages to save you time.
My problem really was simply that having inadvertently downloaded less than half of the file that was what was stored in the
cache and Windows not knowing any better persisted in showing this cached half picture whenver I asked Internet Exploder to
display the actual web page.
Having now deleted that incomplete version I succeeded in downloading the whole picture correctly and then resized it from
the original 1992 by 2796 pixels and a file size of 2009344 bytes (1.91MB or 1963KB) to a more manageable and displayable 590
pixels wide (to match the asize of the flyer I displayed above) the file is now only 590 x 828 and vastly more user friendly at only 28596 bytes

I really like this full colo(u)red and full length version of the familiar APPT CD insert
and the clever use made by Icon Performing Arts to convert it into a flyer
I decided to crop the high resolution picture to a nearly square format producing

cropped to 590x588
file size reduced to 25293 bytes
at this point I had a thought
Oh do stop sniggering you Sydney hooligan!!
I could have simply cropped the original flyer picture in the first place
I then did so
And also cropped the Gordon Lightfoot header
I then grouped these two portions using a drawing program(me) (Serif's DrawPlus and produced a suitably sized master insert square

I have kept notes of this procedure so that I can in due course use this as an excellent example to illustrate pending Uncle John tutorials on jpg picture resizing,
their displaying on corfid and using DrawPlus
As soon as I post this here I will be adding a suitable CD title to display it as a CD jewel case front insert on another current topic
