[thelist] PHP GD library

[Aaron Holmes]

Hi Bill, 

If at all possible, upgrade GD to version 2.

This allows you to use the GD resampling, and results in a better looking
result.

This is the easiest way to get the better quality that you need (AFAIK)

Cheers and good luck!
 
Sincerely yours,

Anyone here have any experience in using GD to create good quality
thumbnails?

I have attempted it and the results are fair to poor. My professional
photographer client will not be satisfied with less than good to
excellent.

I have also attempted to resize images to larger sizes, and although the
results are a bit better than the thumbnails, they are at least slightly
less than acceptable in several cases.

PHP Version is 4.2.3
GD Version is 1.6.2

Advice?

Thanks,
Bill Haenel
