I'm resizing an image using bitmap.GetThumbnailImage()
however I seem to be losing image quality/resolution. For example the original image was 300dpi resolution, and the resized 1 is much smaller.
How can I retain the image resolution when resizing?
Here's a function I use to reduce my images. The quality is excellent.
private static Image ResizeImage(Image imgToResize, Size size)
{
int sourceWidth = imgToResize.Width;
int sourceHeight = imgToResize.Height;
float nPercent = 0;
float nPercentW = 0;
float nPercentH = 0;
nPercentW = ((float)size.Width / (float)sourceWidth);
nPercentH = ((float)size.Height / (float)sourceHeight);
if (nPercentH < nPercentW)
nPercent = nPercentH;
else
nPercent = nPercentW;
int destWidth = (int)(sourceWidth * nPercent);
int destHeight = (int)(sourceHeight * nPercent);
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(destWidth, destHeight);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage((Image)b);
g.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
g.DrawImage(imgToResize, 0, 0, destWidth, destHeight);
g.Dispose();
return (Image)b;
}
Here's how I use it:
int length = (int)stream.Length;
byte[] tempImage = new byte[length];
stream.Read(tempImage, 0, length);
var image = new Bitmap(stream);
var resizedImage = ResizeImage(image, new Size(300, 300));
Holler if you need help getting it running.
