creating thumbs - increasing image quality

Post by adster »

Hi,

not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes.

I'm having trouble with creating (decent) thumbnails from a large image with php.

Currently I am using
imagecreatetruecolor() & imagecopyresampled() to create the thumb etc... but it still is a little pixelated.

Is there anyway of specifying the quality or increasing the clarity of the thumb image?

I have searched the forums and came up with numerous people posting use 'imagecopyresampled() - but this doesn't give me the clean clear thumbs that i'd like. Plus thumbs are saving at ~6 to 7kb from a full size image of 250kb (thumbs 200*200). I wouldn't mind saving as double the kb size to increase picture quality but have no idea how to do this.

TIA for responses.

cheers,
Adam

if you're using imagejpeg to produce the final output, set the quality argument.
