Creating an image without storing it as a local file

Question

Here\'s my situation - I want to create a resized jpeg image from a user uploaded image, and then send it to S3 for storage, but am looking to avoid writing the resized jpeg

Answer 1

Maye by using the GD library.

There is a function to copy out a part of an image and resize it. Of course the part could be the whole image, that way you would only resize it.
