Shopping Site quality Thumbnail Generator

need HIGH QUALITY images generated on the fly

[Namaste]

So far we have been manually re-sizeing images for our site.

I am now exploring the possibility of using a thumbnail generator that can output high quality smaller images from the original 300 x 300 image.

Please recommend scripts, software and techniques.

I have adapted and included SPAW in my systems
to work with my DB

there is a plugin that I helped developing for its integration with SPAW
that is named iBrowser, works now also with NN, FF, O.

you can use it if you are a coder as a stand alone.
or use the full SPAW system

in order to allow for a fixed dimension a class has to be modified
if you decide to go that route let me know.

I have a different objective.

I have both the larger 300x300 and the 100x100 image needing display on the same page. I would like to generate the 100x100 image from the same source file as the 300x300 image.

How is this done without losing on quality?

We are not speaking about generating a low quality thumb but
2 images from the same source
From your high quality img, which is, stored somewhere
A copy will be made and reassembled at a new size
Do it gain from the same quality source and chose a different size
The result will be two images.
Again another class will be modified to allow for the highest img quality
So your requirements are met.
Are you a PHP coder?

[phpthumb.sourceforge.net...] works well for me.
