Nearest neighbor looks pretty much the same for all three versions. Blinear and Bicubic show dramatic differences in the Java vs PS versions.
Rick...does Java have built in blur methods? I suggest trying a tie-in to the resize method. First resize it, then add in a very subtle blur. Then return THAT image as the thumbnail. What that should do is to smooth out the jaggies. You could also try resizing the image in 25% increments until you get close to the final size, then sample down to the final size. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.

Java's basic imaging sucks at making thumbnails: http://www.opensourcecf.com/imagecfc/thumbnail_test/index.html Compare the "100" compression version with the photoshop versions. They're about the same file size. But the photoshop ones look *WAY* better. time to start investigating JAI I guess!
