(1)  This  Registration  Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the
     Registrant's  Common Stock that become  issuable under the 2001 Plan,  1999
     Plan  or  the  1998  Plan  by  reason  of  any   dividend,   stock   split,
     recapitalization or other similar transactions  effected without receipt of
     consideration  that  increases  the  number of  shares of the  Registrant's
     Common Stock outstanding.

(2)  This amount reflects from the automatic  annual increase on January 1, 2003
     of 854,003 shares,  which annual increase is provided for in the 2001 Plan,
     to the  number of shares of the  Registrant's  Common  Stock  reserved  for
     issuance under the 2001 Plan.

(3)  Computed in accordance  with Rule  457(h)(1)  under the  Securities  Act of
     1933. The proposed  maximum  offering price per share of $3.48 was computed
     by  averaging  the high and low  prices  of a share  of  Internet  Pictures
     Corporation  Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq  SmallCap Market on May
     21, 2003.


(4)  This amount results from the automatic annual increase of 140,000 shares on
     January 1, 2001,  2002 and 2003,  which annual  increase is provided for in
     the 1999 Plan,  to the number of shares of the  Registrant's  Common  Stock
     reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan.

(5)  The proposed  maximum  offering  price per share of $2.95 was determined by
     discounting the offering price per share as computed in note three above by
     15% in accordance with the terms of the 1999 Plan.

(6)  This amount results from the automatic annual increase of 280,000 shares on
     January 1, 2001, which annual increase is provided for in the 1998 Plan, to
     the number of shares of the Registrant's Common Stock reserved for issuance
     under the 1998 Plan.

(7)  Computed in accordance  with Rule  457(h)(1)  under the  Securities  Act of
     1933. The proposed  maximum  offering price per share of $3.48 was computed
     by  averaging  the high and low  prices  of a share  of  Internet  Pictures
     Corporation  Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq  SmallCap Market on May
     21, 2003.

     Pursuant to Rule 462 of the 1933 Act,  the  Registration  Statement on Form
     S-8 shall be effective upon filing with the Commission.

Internet Pictures Corporation
3160 Crow Canyon Road
San Ramon CA  94583

Gentlemen:

     We have acted as securities  counsel for Internet Pictures  Corporation,  a
Delaware   corporation  (the  "Company"),   in  connection  with  the  Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration  Statement"),  pursuant to
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the Registrant's Amended and
Restated  Internet  Pictures  Corporation  2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2001
Plan"),  1999  Employee  Stock  Purchase  Plan (the "1999 Plan") and Amended and
Restated 1998  Employee,  Director and  Consultant  Stock Plan (the "1998 Plan",
collectively with the 2001 Plan and the 1999 Plan, the "Plans"). This opinion is
being  furnished in response to Item 601 of Regulation S-K and the  instructions
to Form S-8.

     We are familiar with the  proceedings  to date with respect to the proposed
offering  and have  examined  such  records,  documents  and  matters of law and
satisfied  ourselves as to such matters of fact as we have  considered  relevant
for purposes of this opinion.

     On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

     1. The Company is a corporation  duly organized and existing under the laws
of the State of Delaware.

     2. The Plans have been duly and validly  authorized  and  adopted,  and the
shares of common stock of the Company (the "Shares") that may be issued and sold
from time to time in  accordance  with the Plans have been duly  authorized  for
issuance and will, when issued,  sold and paid for in accordance with the Plans,
be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

     The  foregoing  opinion is limited to the federal laws of the United States
and the corporate  laws of the State of Delaware,  and we are not expressing any
opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     In rendering  the foregoing  opinion,  we have relied to the extent we deem
such reliance  appropriate as to certain matters on statements,  representations
and other information  obtained from public  officials,  officers of the Company
and other sources believed by us to be responsible.

     We hereby  consent  to the  filing of this  opinion  as an  exhibit  to the
Registration  Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we
are in the category of persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the
Act.

                                     Very truly yours,

                                     /s/ BAKER, DONELSON, BEARMAN & CALDWELL, PC




                                  EXHIBIT 23.2

                       CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

     We hereby consent to the  incorporation  by reference in this  Registration
Statement  on Form S-8 of our  report  dated  March  27,  2003  relating  to the
consolidated   financial   statements,   which  appears  in  Internet   Pictures
Corporation's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 2002.
We also consent to the  incorporation by reference of our report dated March 27,
2003 relating to the financial statement schedule,  which appears in such Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
