Thanks all sorted now.
I have also noticed that if you select resize images, sometimes it will resize the image but the transparency is left out, so arround the product is white.
not a big problem because i dont have it rezise the images.

The numbers you get are produced by flash_carousel_image_resize.php which is under catalog/includes/classes.
when you look flash_carousel_image_resize.php line 218 you will see function create_image_from_source_file()
According to this function;
function create_image_from_source_file()
{

// performs some error checking first
// if source file does not exists
if (!is_file($this->sourceFile) || !file_exists($this->sourceFile)) {

// save the error level and stop the execution of the script
$this->error = 1;

return false;

// if source file is not readable
}
As you see script couldn’t read source file and produced error. If you feel that there is no problem about script change above script like below

function create_image_from_source_file()
{

// performs some error checking first
// if source file does not exists
if (!is_file($this->sourceFile) || !file_exists($this->sourceFile)) {

// save the error level and stop the execution of the script
//$this->error = 1;

//return false;

// if source file is not readable
}

May be a good idea to be able to select categories as well as just products? and also be able to resize from admin?
Looks very good.
