Re: How to resize a jpeg?

Since you have GD and libjpeg installed now, you can perform transformations from the shell and hence, from php through the exec() command. Such as ... exec("djpeg -scale 1/8 test.jpg | cjpeg -outfile test_thumb.jpg"); Here's a link to the man page for djpeg and cjpeg... http://nodevice.com/sections/ManIndex/man0253.html You may find better results adjusting these settings. Be aware that exec() , if used improperly, can be a security hole if you use a user supplied variable for your exec argument.

Hi, after getting gd to work (thanx folks!) I am having some probs with the commands. The simple resize of a jpeg cant be that hard?! I have a 600x400 px jpeg and want to make a 80 x 60 out of it. Do I have to use imagecopyresized? And how. The result looks bad right now.
