You can try GD

If your php was built using --with-gd you can try using GD Lib instead.  GD produces better quality thumbnails in my opinon.

Image quality with ImageMagick

In "image_utils.php" file, edit the following line


".$quality." -antialias -sample $width"."x"."$height \"$src\"


Change the word '-sample' to '-geometry'

".$quality." -antialias -geometry $width"."x"."$height \"$src\"


You will get brilliant quality.
