Re: Re: Re: Resizing images without Image::Magick

Ack!
No, that is no longer the case.
Please see: Re: Re: Resizing an image with perl.

I was going to post code, but silent11's is nearly identical to mine.
So instead I will post this and you can see GD create true color images.

Ciao, -xtype

PS. note the slight difference when creating a new image?

sub resize {
  use GD;
  my($data, @size) = @_;
  my $image = GD::Image->newFromJpegData($data, 1);
  my @isize = $image->getBounds();
  my $new_image = GD::Image->new(@size, 1);
  $new_image->copyResampled($image,0,0,0,0,@size,@isize);
  return $new_image->jpeg(75);
}

Indeed. Although, it was for personal use, made 755 just for the benefit of this thread. :^) If you have time to wait around for a 9999x9999 jpg to download, then be my guest, because it really does not take much CPU on the server send. That is the beauty of using gd, and just another benefit GD has over Image::Magick. I suppose, for image quality reasons it could be limited to 3 or 4 times the natural size. Bah! It spits out my thumbnails damn fast, that is all I care for now. photo.cgi?img=01368 (natural size (GD isn't /use/d)) photo.cgi?img=01368&thumb (keeps image proportion, and size under 120x90)	[reply]
