Tim's function is a whole lot faster, however, the quality setting doesnt seem right since resizing very big images doesnt affect quality of the resulting thumbnails that much on quality 1 for example.
Anyone has figured out how to use a more correct quality setting by comparing image surfaces (for example) basing on Tim's function?
images with a total of 10Megapixels that contain 5Megapixels when resized should use the same quality setting like images that contain 1Megapixels but only 0.5 when resized.
Not hard to understand, but the memoryload would be a lot lower if the function could decide to use a setting of quality 1 automatically when resizing big images to small thumbnails. This would be handy especially when using the function for images of various sizes in the same application.
