Does anybody have an idea of how to achieve that or which software product to use, that is make a Jpeg file where it has an embedded thumbnail in it. Thnks for all

Almost all graphic/image programs have that capability.

Do you mean dynamically? I have a PHP script where the siteowner uploads a photo and it automatically risizes it and generates and saves a thumbnail version of it. You could save it with the thumbnail embedded easily using PHP [php.net] image [php.net] functions.

Can't find anything in Paint Shop Pro 7 for creating thumbnails that are embedded in the original jpeg file. I'm not even sure that the jpeg format supports this.

Why would you want to anyway?
The whole point of a thumbnail is that it gives a preview of the image without having to wait for the whole file to load.

But if it was embedded within the file then you would probably have to load the whole thing anyway.
