Hi is there any way to scale Medias after declaring them without loosing
some of the Media Effects ?

There was a long thead on this subject on c.g.r.r. about 2-3
months ago. I believe the answer is no but you might try a
dejanews search with "media" as your subject and see what
pops up.

Here's a possiblity.
Scale the media along with container object scale as follows.

 note! OS:SS of 1.5:.75, 1:1, .75:1.5, .5:2, .25:4, etc. approximates unioned 
equalization
 OS:SS of 2:.75, 1:1, .75:1.25, .5:1.5, .25:2, etc. approximates intersected 
equalization

This is from a media test file I'm using to figure media out better.
OS is object scale, SS is scattering scale (color*SS).
Unioned and intersected media is described in the help file under Multiple 
Media and Density.
I'm putting the test file onto my web site so anyone can check it out. There 
isn't any guarantee I've got it right yet, but from what I've seen the scaling 
does a fair approximation in the case of the test scene file concerning 
multiple media or density, and scattering.
