Image manipulation and caching

Submitted by crounauer on Fri, 2009-09-11 15:50 in

Hi David,

In order to try and speed up my site I would like to go down the route of manipulating product images before caching them on my server. I have the space so that isn't an issue. I have succesfully implemented your image caching script which works really well. The only thing is that it doesn't resize the images before saving. The problem is that images tend to look deformed when resizing them within the "img" tag. I have been reading up on phpThumb http://phpthumb.gxdlabs.com/ which will manipulate the image to the correct size, it however doesn't have the facility to cache the resized images. Is it possible to combine these 2 scripts, or do you perhaps have an alternative suggestion?

Thanks,
Simon
