[nycphp-talk] Creatings Thumbnails with GD

in the line very near the bottom:
imagejpeg($dest);
this function takes a third parameter, which is an integer (1-100)
representing the quality of the output file.  (The second parameter is
optional, skip it with two apostrophes) Of course, the higher the number,
the higher quality the image is - of course, along with the filesize being
larger, too.
I use around 50 - 60 for thumbnails, because, c'mon, the image quality of a
thumbnail is really NOT that important.  It's the large image where quality
counts.
anyway, change the line to something like this:
imagejpeg($dest, '', 80);

Note that the imagepng() function does not support an output quality
parameter, nor does the imagegif() function.  So if you want to adjust image
quality, stick with jpg's.

Cheers.
