loading, resizing and then saving the jpg

[eXistenZ]

hey, i know there have been many threads on this but i don't think i have found what i am looking for..

i'm using visual c++ 6.0 with MFC and im trying to find the easiest way to load (a bmp or a jpg), resize and then save it as a jpg (select quality too), by this i mean that i don't want to make my executable file a lot bigger by using a huge class that supports most image file types.. just something easy that works only for jpg's.

so what do i really need for this?

thanks

Well what do you have right now??? ... and what is wrong with it!

hmm well right now i am trying CxImage but i cannot get it to work

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/graphics/cximage.aspx


this is because i have never included any custom library in my projects before :P


so i compiled the library cximage.lib, after that i created a directory in my project's directory named CxImage and placed the cximage.lib file there and then i added it to Project - Settings - Win32 Release - Link - Object/Library modules - CxImage/cximage.lib

and when i include "ximage.h" in my project somewhere i get this error:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'ximage.h': No such file or directory


am i doing something wrong?

How are you specifying the include file?

#include ...????

i.e., post your include statement

oh yeah sorry: #include "ximage.h"

it probably needs the .h file, i thought it gets it from the .lib file (i don't know much about adding custom libraries :P)

Don't forget to specify the path
