Resizing a linked image??

Post by soianyc »

Ive been looking around at resizing an image and was wondering if 1) i can resize an image that is linked and not stored in the db and 2) which would be more efficient to resize.

Thanx

there is very little reason to ever store an image in a database. You're often going to add a bunch of time on top of the resize operation just to view the image.
