Answer 1

Take a look at PHP Thumb (MIT license).

It supports Adaptive Resizing.

What it does is resize the image to get as close as possible to the desired dimensions, then crops the image down to the proper size from the center.

require_once '/path/to/ThumbLib.inc.php';  

$thumb = PhpThumbFactory::create('test.jpg');  
$thumb->adaptiveResize(50, 50)->save('/path/to/new_thumb.jpg');  

PHP Thumb is a light-weight image
manipulation library aimed at
thumbnail generation. It features the
ability to resize by width, height,
and percentage, create custom crops,
or square crops from the center, and
rotate the image.
