Tiny thumbnail (160x40):

Just to clarify, you can use any size you want, they're dynamically resizing them on the fly.

Depending on what your design calls for, you can restrict either the height or the width.
For example, if you always want your images to be 600px wide, you can pass /600x9999/ and it will always restrict to the smaller value.
If you want your images to always be 600px tall, you can pass /9999x600/ and it will always return images that are 600px tall.
There is no cropping function, so passing both width and height doesn't do much.

Ah, so they won't add black bars for weird sizes. I didn't see any comment on this function and thought that might help with the OP question.

I've only worked with HomeNet for a few months as a reseller. They seemed to be OK with serving hot from their CDN and are relatively quick resizing. Do you guys prefer your own local copies? Currently, we use in-house image caching that stores the original image and delivers whatever size we request (similar to the HomeNet function) so that we can control availability and optimization.
