I need to resize uploaded pictures to a specific size.. The original picture dimensions can be different from time to time..The user must be able to upload BMP and JPG files, and they need to be sized down, so that they can be viewn as thumbnails..
I know that this can't be done with script, and has to be done with a component or something, so i'm asking if there's some <b>free</b> component that will do this ? It doesn't need any other features, just resizing and saving the thumbnail when needed..
any help appreciated !

Tia,
If you select the image holder on your page where the Thumbnails will be displayed and enter a set width OR height in your properties pallette, the image will resize to the dimension you specified and will 'constrain' the image. eg. if your uploaded image was 100 x 100 pixels and you had set the width dimension to 50 pixels then when the image is dispayed the height will change to 50.
I have used this as a quick way round things in the past.
If this isn't any use try PureASP Upload 2 - which has loads of presets in it to manipulate images...
Alikat,

Alikat,
um.. my name's not "tia", tia = "thanks in advance".. he he.
Well, anyway... I know what you mean, but I'm making a page where the user can upload screenshots (1024x768+), and having 20 of those on the same page will make it pretty slow (for slower connections..) if i just size down the image with asp/html.
I appreciate that you're trying to help me here, and since you didn't know what i needed this for.. well, you tried, thanks for that <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>
So aparently there's not a free component or something that will do this.. i think i'll just have to go buy PureAsp upload 2.0 or force the user to make the images into thumbnails before uploading.. hmm..
thanks again

If I understood you cerrectly, you need some component for resizing images 'on-the-fly'. Try ASPJpeg www.aspupload.com/aspjpeg.html
As I know there are no free components that can do this kind of job.
