Antialiasing with GD1?

[jakewalk]

Hi,

on my host machine the following GD-Version is installed (extract from phpinfo):

GD Support: enabled
GD Version: 1.6.2 or higher
FreeType Support: enabled
FreeType Linkage: with freetype
T1Lib Support: enabled
JPG Support: enabled
PNG Support: enabled
WBMP Support: enabled

Imagemagick is not installed. Everything works fine, but the thumbnails look ugly, because they are generated without antialiasing. Is this a restriction of GD1 or can this be enabled somewhere?

Is it possible to generate the thumbnails manually and upload them (as a workaround)?

Regards,
jakewalk

- it's GD 1 restriction
- ask your host to enable gd 2 instead
- to create thumbnails manualy you should change core files.regular CPG wouldn't do that

You can manually create thumbnails and prepend the filenames with thumb_ and upload them along with the originals. But it would be better to ask your host to switch to GD2 as bmossavari suggested.

Hi,

thanks for your replies. Because GD2 is not available for me I generate the thumbnails with the Irfan View batch function and upload them afterwards.
