creating thumbs - increasing image quality
Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2005 8:25 pm
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
