Re: What produces best thumbnails programmaticly

I don't have PhotoShop now, and I don't think I can afford it for just one
application. Just out of curiousity, can PhotoShop be called from Java?

What would be second best?

PhotoShop!

In part, that is why it costs a lot!

It's algorithms are highly tweaked!

Good evening,

Windows 2000, JDK 1.5.

What opinions do people have on what way and tool programmaticly produces
the best quality thumbnails from larger images?

On the web I've seen Java Advanced Imaging (JAI), ImageMagick, and GIMP
all
praised as best in different places.

Is there another tool or other better solution?

Can anybody point to a superior JAI implementation, if that's considered
best?

Many thanks,
Ron
