Image Resizing without image quality loss
One of my clients is currently using LWP:UserAgent to fetch HTML from another site. He's having a problem because the image is too large for his site. When we change the HTML to reduce the size of the image the quality stinks. Is there a way to do this. Maybe with an external script that would fetch the image and automatically reduce it? I guess an example would be like:
<img src=http://www.domain.com/reducer.cgi?image=http://www.otherdomain.com/image.gif>
<img src=http://www.domain.com/reducer.cgi?image=http://www.otherdomain.com/image.gif>

The image should not lose quality as long as the aspect ratio as maintained, as Tintin stated.
This means that if you have a 800x600 picture, then you could resize it to an 8x6 picture, or a 160x120 picture, or anything where the width/height ratio is the same. But you couldn't resize it to something like 8x7 or 160x150 without making the graphic look bad.
