This is off-topic, but someone in the group may have a good idea, so
I'll ask it here. Please also reply to my email - ray@non-aol.com --
thanks.
I am storing several detailed images at about 400x400 pixels (inventory
for an art gallery). I show a page with thumbnails of the images. When
a site visitor clicks on a thumbnail, I open a separate window to
display the detailed image.
Presently I am storing two copies of each image - full size and thumb.
My objective is to store only one copy of each image - full size. (The
rationale behind this is a complicated story involving old gallery
owners, digital cameras, rudimentary image editing skills, etc.)
I want the server to read the full size image, but resize it down to the
thumbnail size before sending it, thus saving transmission time.
Are there any server-side applications that can handle this?
Thanks for your suggestions,
