I'm using PHP to generate thumbnails. The problem is that I have a set width and height the thumbnails need to be and often times the images are stretched.
What I'd like is the image to remain at the same proportions and just have black filler (or any color) either on the left & right for tall images or top & bottom for wide images.
Here is the code I'm currently using: (dumbed down a bit for readability)
$temp_image_file = imagecreatefromjpeg("http://www.example.com/image.jpg");
list($width,$height) = getimagesize("http://www.example.com/image.jpg");
$image_file = imagecreatetruecolor(166,103);
imagecopyresampled($image_file,$temp_image_file,0,0,0,0,166,103,$width,$height);
imagejpeg($image_file,"thumbnails/thumbnail.jpg",50);
imagedestroy($temp_image_file);
imagedestroy($image_file);
