I am using gd2 library to cut images but it is not working for my images.

I am uploading images of 1000X1000px and then cut it in 300X300 and 107X84.

300X300 image is fine but 107X84 image isn't great. I can easily see the difference with same image cut using photoshop of same size.

enter image description here (gd2 image)

enter image description here (photoshop image)

You can see difference of both the images.

I am using the following code

//small image
$config['image_library'] = 'gd2';
$config['source_image'] = 'uploads/images/medium/'.$upload_data['file_name'];
$config['new_image']    = 'uploads/images/small/'.$upload_data['file_name'];
$config['maintain_ratio'] = FALSE;
$config['width'] = 107;/*235*/
$config['height'] = 84;/*235*/
$this->image_lib->initialize($config); 
$this->image_lib->resize();
$this->image_lib->clear();

Make use of imagemagick instead of GD library function – Yatin Trivedi Apr 07 '14 at 14:01
what gd interface is this? php gd is not object based. but if your lib's naming parallels gd's, you probably want `resample()`, not `resize()`. – Marc B Apr 07 '14 at 14:02
`$config['maintain_ratio'] = FALSE;` is pressed you image. – Girish Apr 07 '14 at 14:03
@YatinTrivedi I dont have imagemagick installed. – user3110655 Apr 07 '14 at 14:04
@Girish I made it false because I need the same size – user3110655 Apr 07 '14 at 14:05
then image will be stretched. – Girish Apr 07 '14 at 14:10
what can be the solution – user3110655 Apr 07 '14 at 14:12
you should crop and resize to your required `dim` – Girish Apr 07 '14 at 14:14
@Girish how to do that Please tell me – user3110655 Apr 07 '14 at 14:16
