Resize JPEG

You can try going here:

Or you can check out this EE question:

Idle_Mind gives a good example, there is a framwork method which can do this but it often runs into prolems his code solves. The difference is that the framework method is intended to use MUCH less memory, it is quite good at making smaller versions of an image but if you are enlarging you will run into troubles. The method is Image.GetThumbnailImage() http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdrawingimageclassgetthumbnailimagetopic.asp includes an example and the scaling arithmetic should be the same. Just to be clear it is only usefull if you are shrinking an image as if the image has an embedded thumbnail it will use that as opposed to the full image.

Heres my take:

Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging

Public Class ResizeImage

    Private _CreateThumbnail As Boolean
    Private _ThumbX, _ThumbY, _FullSizeX, _FullSizeY As Integer
    Private UnacceptableImageFormats As ArrayList

        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Boolean)
            _CreateThumbnail = Value
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Property FullSizeX() As Integer
        Get
            Return _FullSizeX
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
            _FullSizeX = Value
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Property FullSizeY() As Integer
        Get
            Return _FullSizeY
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
            _FullSizeY = Value
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Property ThumbX() As Integer
        Get
            Return _ThumbX
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
            _ThumbX = Value
        End Set
    End Property
    Public Property ThumbY() As Integer
        Get
            Return _ThumbY
        End Get
        Set(ByVal Value As Integer)
            _ThumbY = Value
        End Set
    End Property

dim imgFile as image= Bitmap.FromFile("yourfilepath")


                    imgOut = ScaleByPercent(imgFile, 50)                           'percent to scale
                    imgOut.Save(<filename/stream>, ImageFormat.Jpeg)

    Function ScaleByPercent(ByVal imgPhoto As Image, ByVal Percent As Integer) As Image
        Dim nPercent As Single = (CType(Percent / 100, Single))

        Dim sourceWidth As Integer = imgPhoto.Width
        Dim sourceHeight As Integer = imgPhoto.Height
        Dim sourceX As Integer = 0
        Dim sourceY As Integer = 0

        Dim destX As Integer = 0
        Dim destY As Integer = 0
        Dim destWidth As Integer = CType((sourceWidth * nPercent), Integer)
        Dim destHeight As Integer = CType((sourceHeight * nPercent), Integer)
        Dim bmPhoto As Bitmap
        bmPhoto = New Bitmap(destWidth, destHeight, PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb)
        bmPhoto.SetResolution(imgPhoto.HorizontalResolution, imgPhoto.VerticalResolution)

        Dim grPhoto As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bmPhoto)
        grPhoto.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic
        grPhoto.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality
        grPhoto.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality
        grPhoto.DrawImage(imgPhoto, New Rectangle(destX, destY, destWidth, destHeight), New Rectangle(sourceX, sourceY, sourceWidth, sourceHeight), GraphicsUnit.Pixel)

        'bmPhoto.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg)
        grPhoto.Dispose()
        Return bmPhoto
    End Function

change the above

imgOut = ScaleByPercent(imgFile, 50)                           'percent to scale

 as

dim imgOut as image= ScaleByPercent(imgFile, 50)                           'percent to scale

The same can be done with my first code posting:

 Bitmap.SetResolution(72, 72) '''or anywhere else where the SetResolution property is available

I'll try these out tonight and ask more questions or award points accordingly to the solution I use.

Thanks for the help.
