Hi i included a picture hopefully it will help make things alittle more clear.
I have a listing website, users can upload pictures.
Here is the problem... a user uploads a 1.6mb picture... right now that stays 1.6mb, then as far as the thumbnail goes that just gets compressed but it does not get resized so as you can image ... the search pages are loading slow and the thumbnail is actually 1.6mb.
How can i explain to my developer to do this, and do this properly...this is what i want it to do.
A user uploads a file that is 1.6mb> it immediately gets reformatted to a size much smaller something like 100kb.
Then it creates a thubnail for that picture which again is reformatted>somewhere around 30kb
The reason i say the thumbnail should be resized also is because if not it will remain the same file size as the new larger 100kb size and i see most good sites their thumbnails are around 30kb.
Maybe .png's, .bmps etc should immediately be reformatted into .jpg's and THEN make a shrunken smaller thumbnail?
thank you and i appreciate the help.
