Image Resize in C# - Algorith to determine resize dimensions (height and width)

Question

I need to scale down an image that has a height or width greater than a predefined pixel value.

I wrote some code that takes a look at the original image, checks to

You can avoid calculating the aspect ratio (and using doubles) using a few integer tricks..

// You have the new height, you need the new width
int orgHeight = 1200;
int orgWidth = 1920;

int newHeight = 400;
int newWidth = (newHeight * orgWidth) / orgHeight; // 640

or...

// You have the new width, you need the new height.
int orgWidth = 1920;
int orgHeight = 1200;

int newWidth = 800;
int newHeight = (newWidth * orgHeight) / orgWidth; // 500

The following example will resize an image to any desired rectangle (desWidth and desHeight) and center the image within that rectangle.

static Image ResizeImage(Image image, int desWidth, int desHeight)
{
    int x, y, w, h;

    if (image.Height > image.Width)
    {
        w = (image.Width * desHeight) / image.Height;
        h = desHeight;
        x = (desWidth - w) / 2;
        y = 0;
    }
    else
    {
        w = desWidth;
        h = (image.Height * desWidth) / image.Width;
        x = 0;
        y = (desHeight - h) / 2;
    }

    var bmp = new Bitmap(desWidth, desHeight);

    using (Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp))
    {
        g.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
        g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
        g.DrawImage(image, x, y, w, h);
    }

    return bmp;
}
