crop an image

Hi there, I do have a small problem with the proportions of image copy The image is originally vertical in 100px width and 141px height. Now I want to crop it to 80 px width and 60px height. There should be no black area and the proportions should be OK. That means that I have to copy only part of the image. In this case it would be 40.5px from above (141-60 / 2 ) and until 100.5 (40.5+60). This would crop the middle part of the image. Now with imagecoyresampled I can set the starting point of 40.5px, but not the ending point. The image will have a black bottom. Here is the code I am using: imagecopyresampled($outputImg, $inputImg, 0,0, 0 , 40.5, 80, 60, $srcX, $srcY); Thank you for any hint. Maybe somebody has a good idea on how to crop that image. Best regards, Merlin
