Having some trouble with some; this could be due to incorrect JPGs?

ANYWAYS:

I've got the conversion to mercator working, easy:

gdalwarp -of GTiff -t_srs EPSG:900913 input.tif output.jpg

Do you know how to do it while preserving a white background? We'll need to do that for printing. Right now I'm doing it in ImageMagick, but I don't know the GDAL way... ideas?

I think white is default no? Well at least in Photoshop it is. The archive jpgs were made by me separately, selecting black. If it is white by default I can just reproduce the existing archive jpgs

pretty up the printing button, make it clearer, and also put a "print" button on list view

thanks, white jpegs are all present except for just a couple recent submissions where it did not come out of the output
