Imagine 200 fabric options and 4 wood color finishes that means you would have to create 800 images for each product. The client has over 400 products so we're looking at 320,000 images!!!!

The product option which is the same for almost all products - FABRIC COLOR should be able to pull a swatch from the fabric swatch images and show it next to the option box.

Same thing for the color finish option.

Check out www.patio.com and see how there product options work with swatches to build the product.

I need this mod badly!@!

Well, I agree that 320,000 images would be a chore
Your example web site was confusing to me (I was actually thinking about buying some patio chair cushions) and I could not determine if what I was ordering would work for me (so I did not order).

It sounds like you need something like
if "option" ne ""
if "option" eq "perserver"
display paint can image
/if
/if

good luck
