Yes, I hacked together  JPEGImage and JPEGImports classes... I pass in 
a directory and it imports all the jpegs in the folder in the image. I 
then use it from seaside and don't have any of those wonderful 8 bit 
gif issues. I don't have the code in front of me at the moment, but I 
also added a couple of seaside methods to I could have 
imageWithForm:width:height: and such as convenience. If anyone is 
interested, let me know.
