Thanks for the reply.

In photoshop you have to turn the image into RGB (truecolor) first before it will correctly scale up without pixalating, I dont know if that info helps.

I havent tried doing it in GD for awhile but I might give that a go and let you know what happens.

Thanks,

Yes, it is what I did, turn it into RGB mode before upsclaing it. In fact, I use The GIMP, which gives the same results as Photoshop.

It seems to me that GD might not be able to convert the color space from palette to RGB. I tried a few things, but always ended up with the same result. Alternatively, maybe the color space is converted to RGB, but the resize routine of GD are basic, and don't apply that "blur filter".

I also try with a bi-cubic resampling function, but downscaling looks bad, and upscaling looks the same (pixelated).Reply

Thanks for looking into it man :)

It's not a major issue for me as hopefully everyone will upload at my preset size anyway.

Love the class, keep up the good work :)

PS. the new resize and crop function rocks!
