Recently, I have been playing around with the Image Resize Hack found over at Pagesetter.net. The hack allows you to resize the original image while retaining the thumbnail creation feature. The problems with the existing solution was that: 1. You had to hardcode the resulting size you wanted for all uploaded images in pnimagesapi.php; and 2. It resized all uploaded images even if they were smaller than the originally uploaded image (so all smaller images were blown up to the specified resize size).
I've been playing around with it and did manage to get #2 above resolved. However, I'm not an expert
PHP coder and it's likely not the cleanest and best way to do it unless I really lucked out. Any suggestions or input on how to go about cleaning up #2 and maybe even taking care of #1 would be awesome. You can see the thread I started at

I'd love to hear any input or maybe even a solution!
