Essential osCommerce Modification - Generate Thumbnail Images

Automatic Thumbnail Image Creator
The default osCommerce system does not generate thumbnails of large images you upload. It relies on the browser resizing images to a height and width set in the admin area.
You should consider adding a thumbnail generator of some description (like the one linked to above) for three reasons:
1. letting the web browser resize images will produce inferior looking images
2. large images will be loaded in when they are not necessary - meaning a longer wait to see images on the page.
3. it will save you time - rather than having to resize every image yourself.
You will need GD support with PHP.
