[PHP] GD jpg thumbnail - ugly discollored
I have a script that takes uploaded images (jpeg only) and makes proportionate thumbnails etc, and saves them in jpeg (.jpg) format again (default compression of %75 I think) anyway, the thumbnails are UGLY. Beauty of content aside, they are discolored, and usually one predominant color takes over the entire picture so they come looking like off-black and white thumbnails. WHY? And how can I fix this/get around it? This is some extra info.

Use ImageMagick found @ http://www.imagemagick.org . It is all you need to handle images. Aside the binary external program take a look at this too : http://magick.communityconnect.com/ best of luck, --georgep - Original Message - From: Victor [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 25, 2003 10:00 PM Subject: [PHP] GD jpg thumbnail - ugly discollored I have a script that takes uploaded images (jpeg only) and makes proportionate thumbnails etc, and saves them in jpeg (.jpg) format again (default compression of %75 I think) anyway, the thumbnails are UGLY.

That is not an option since I do not have control over the hosting company. -Original Message- From: George E.

make sure you use: ImageCreateTrueColor() to create the thumbnail image and ImageCopyResampled() when you copy the image.
