I was excited to see the Imager development page mention the following "TODO" item: "implement methods that allow access to the low level scanline function (mostly done - still need palette index access)" The dev page hasn't been updated for the current version, but could you please tell me how far this has progressed, and whether it is/will be possible to not just skip scanlines but skip 'columns' of iamge data...? It is a while since I looked at doing this in lib jpeg, but I do remember running out of patience. Is it impossible...? Thanks, lee
