[DHTML] Advanced Thumbnail Creator

Once the image is generated how could you resize it to make it bigger? That would only leave whitespace in an image editor. Resizing may be unpractical, because only a portion of the image is converted.

My favorite method is bilinear resampling. Some folks go for pixel mapping. What you are talking about is adding canvas. I'm talking about actually making a bigger or smaller version of the same image - resizing.

Right. But, just as you can crop the original either by editing the fields or using the mouse, I would like to see a mouse initiated method of resizing the thumbnail.

See the "Resize Instead of Drag?" section on this page:

Just a thought really, the routines might not be easily adapted. In any case, that's what I meant by 'the resizing could be more intuitive'.

I would add that the code you developed for this is pretty impressive already.
