Just stumbled across this while updating my copy of Greased Lightbox, a fantastic GreaseMonkey script (for all you Firefox users out there.) It's called Smart Image Resizer, and it's a great piece of PHP that can resize images on the fly without modifying the original. Very very cool.

    There is no need to host CPU-intensive thumbnailing scripts like this on your webserver anymore. Instead, you can use a specialized service for remote, on-demand image manipulation like SteadyOffload.

    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.
