ok, im working on a random image script, but what im looking to do is instead of shrinking an image into a thumb nail, i only want to take part of the image, understand what im saying? now i just spent an hour or so checking out hotscripts and google, but i came up with nothing. plus, i really dont know how to describe it, which makes it more difficult. thanks in advance.

cheers.

So you want to crop the image right? What graphic program are you using?

And are you wanting a random script to display the images right?

i dont want to actually cut down the image. here is a url with the example of what im trying to do:

http://www.visualorgasm.com

on the left hand side, youll notice 3 pictures, but it only shows a portion of the whole picture, as apposed to thumbnails which just shrink the image.

and i am trying to build my own script now that ive learned a bit of php. again, thanks.

cheers

So you just want the image sto look smaller? If so, you should either edit the image's height and width:

Code:

&lt;imgf src="img.gif" border="0" height="x" width="x">

Or

Edit the image in a graphic editor and reduce the height and width of the pixels there.

:? not quite, like i said this is hard to explain, here i go again:

heres a random picture from one of my directories:

but i only want a portion of that picture showing. so, lets say, i only want to be shown the image inside this red square:

i hope that explains it better. i will keep looking to see if i can find anything.....

cheers

ok, well to do that you need to crop it with your graphic editot and then save it as an image. So you'll have 2 images. 1 full image and the other croped.

Is that what you need help with?

I think I understand... I have an idea... get a random image script, then split it up however you want it, then upload all the little pics.

ok, thanks. i had hoped there was a script out there that could do the work for me

, oh well, thanks anyways.

cheers

I don't think it is possible for a script to do that.... maybe....

Well I dont think it would unless it actually split the image for you... :shock:
