Does anyone know if there is an API out there to scale pictures.
Essentially I am allowing users to upload pictures which I'm storing on a database. If the picture the user is trying to store is not of proper size, i want programatically scale the picture to reduce the image size.
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,
You want the java.awt.Image class. When you have an image you can scale it like this:

The hints field suggests the manner in which the image will be scaled. You can look in API docs for the hints and their meaning.
Hope this helps,
