Popweb Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi all! I have been browsing throug a bunch of discussions regarding image conversion. But not found the answer, yet. So here goes. I have a script that uploads images - resizing and resampling them. But sctrictly jpgs. Now I would like to make it possible to upload other image-types. bmp gif png pdf eps - would be nice! Or as many of these as possible. I do realize that converting to jpg will in some cases mean lower quality images. For my purpose that is ok. The only reason I want to convert to jpg is that I already have a function to reseize jpgs. (I resize to either a max height or a max width, depending on landscape or portrait). But if it is easier to just resize the other image-formats, instead of converting to jpg - then that is perfectly ok too. Any suggestions? Thank you John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Do you have the PHP-GD library installed? Other than that you might have to use a 3rd party service to do it for you without the imagick library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popweb Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 The GD library is installed. But not Imagemagick. - And as far as I understand Imagemagick is needed, to use Imagick. Third party service? Any particular in mind? I was sort of hoping that somebody had experience with a library or opensource code of some sort. :-) No?

Popweb Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Dear Premiso! I am going to check out your link. And I thank you very much for your time and appreciate that you are doing this to help, and not geting paid. Thank you for that. However, - your "Let me google this for you"-addition is straight out arrogant. In the sourcecode for it, was added: "For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves." .... Excuse me?!! I do NOT find it "more convenient to bother you with my question rather than google it, myself". I feel like I spend half my time googling, - and thats perfectly ok. I need to, in order to find what I need. The fact that I ask a question here, is based on me being insecure - and was hoping that somebody out there had experience with something, and would like to share their experience and knowledge. I googled. But the link that you came up with, I actually hadn't found. I know - I am probably not a very good googler. So be it, we all do things as best as we can. I thank you again, for your help. It actually IS very much appreciated. But please dont assume that other people are lazy and idiots. (well... google-idiots perhaps, but in general - please dont). It is an awkward situation, because you ARE helping me. So according to social codecs it feels like I am not allowed speak up, when you say: "Here is your answer. - You lazy idiot". Please consider this. That said, the "Let me google this for you" is actually funny. :-) You just hit a nerve with me. I really do try to do my own work. Peace, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
