I\'m processing images when the user uploads a pic but my problem is high rez pics. How do you detect when the user uploads one? I\'m using the GD library for PHP. Setting
Using phpthumb (http://phpthumb.gxdlabs.com) is a good, elegant and easy solution.
I have a working code example using it uploaded to GitHub. It can use both GD & Imagemagick, it's up to you.
