My provider has only GD2 installed, not ImageMagick.
Is it possible to set the compression parameters for jpg for GD2 resizing? And what about the quality?

Maybe it's better to resize with some batch actions and upload the pictures, thumbs and microthumbs on the webserver.

These will come in time.

I do personally like ImageMagick resize - takes a bit of time to find good sharpening settings but quality is very good. It's always worth a try to ask provider to install ImageMagick.

sadly, ImageMagick is not available on all platforms that php and ee run on... i highly doubt that it is available for OS/2 Warp3 :wink: :wink:

i just need to try to work out why i've been unable to rethumbnail photos without getting solid black picts as a result... it may be fixed in the latest exif_fix1 stuff but i don't know... haven't tested yet...

If you use GD1 then it has 256-color paletter which may render JPG's in black.
