hi...haven't been here for a long time..wonder if its a good thing or a bad? 8O ..

anyways, I am making a image gallery and I never have made one before :roll: , I
want to resize (thumbnails) the images so the load time is slashed at least by 50%.

can someone point me to the right direction? link to a tutorial or 2 would be nice :).

thanks

you might search this board or use google to find a good tutorial but haven't checked them. ImageMagick usually produces better images and there are extensions for php, too

using the gd-extension is the easiest way because it ships with most (linux) distributions (and the windows php-packages as well)
