Magento Adaptive Resize

Implements an adaptive resize function just like the phpthumbs library implementation

What it does is resize the image to get as close as possible to the desired dimensions, then crops the image down to the proper size from the center. This is called adaptive resizing. phpThumb

How To Use

• Simply download the source code here: magento-adaptive-resize.zip and extract into your Magento install directory.
• Flush the Magento cache

Now where ever you can call the normal resize() method on an image you can call adaptiveResize() instead!

Example:

<img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'thumbnail')->adaptiveResize(160, 213) ?>" width="160" height="213" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()); ?>" />
