This entry specifies the creation of two additional images when an image is added to a Multimedia record. The first is a JPEG image, 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high, where the aspect ratio is maintained and the image may be enlarged if the original is smaller than 640 x 480 pixels. The second image is a PNG image, 150 pixels wide by 150 pixels high, where the aspect ratio is not maintained (i.e. the image may become distorted) and enlargement is possible:
