Resize Imges maintaining aspect ratio

[So_Simple]

I want to do a page like web photo album. I want to show some thumbnails and
when i click on it, it should open the image with the original size!
My problem is to do the thumbnails I want to resize the larges pictures
maintaining the aspect ratio!

I'm working with dreamweaver in php/mySQL...

Hi there,

Insert the image to the area you want it
right click
edit tag <img>
this brings up a new window with your picture details in it.
Select the width or high that you want the thumbnail to be and then click on
the calculator button on the right hand side.
This automatically recalculates the image in the correct ratio.

Hope that helps

That's a horrible solution as the quality of the resizing is very poor, and
the images are all still at their full filesize. That would make the page
very slow to download, and pretty much defeat the whole point of using a
thumbnail gallery.

It's much better to resize each image using a photo editing program,
although it does take a while.

Hi,
you can only do it creating a copy of the image and resizing using a image
editor such as fireworks or photoshop.
Resizing in dreamwaver only forces your large image to be display in a
different size, it will therefore look blury and will keep its original virtual
size.
Hope this helps
