In fact you can cut an image with the height and width properties if it has a .jpg extension. I wasn't aware of the fact that this doesn't go up for a .bmp extension. To get the same effect you can use css and div :

<div style = "width:xpx;  height:ypx;overflow:hidden"  > 
<img src = "zal.bmp"> </img> 
</div>

Of course x is the width and y the height at which you want to cut the image off.
