Instead, you can use a specialized service for remote, on-demand image manipulation like <a href="http://steadyoffload.com/thumbnail-problem" rel="nofollow">SteadyOffload</a>. All you have to do is use a custom HTML attribute called “xmanip” with the img tag. This will deliver the thumbnail from one of the globally scattered cache servers: <img srcx=”image.jpg” xmanip=”RescaleWidth 130″ /> So much easier than all the hassle with GD or ImageMagick! Moreover, this reduces the CPU load of your webserver and saves some bandwidth. There is no need to host CPU-intensive thumbnailing scripts like this on your webserver anymore.
