I stopped using sfThumbnailPlugin because it's inefficient - if you want three sizes, you have to load the original three times - and it has inconsistent features between its backends and etc. Also actually loading originals into memory is very inefficient if you're just creating scaled versions. You can do that on a row by row basis. So we wound up writing a simple wrapper around the netpbm utilities.
So I suggest you try pkImageConverterPlugin, which is being maintained and is a lot simpler with the potential to convert huge images without actually allocating memory for them. It does require that your host have the netpbm utilities, which your LAMP host should be willing to install if they're not awful, and it isn't Windows-friendly. Also it won't work if your hosting is lame... ahem... if your hosting is in PHP "safe mode" and you can't call system().
