For others who have the same problem and need an answer:

Q: Image quality is very bad, very pixelated — why?
A: You may be trying to resize images larger than the available
PHP memory, so phpThumb is simply extracting and using the
EXIF thumbnail as the image source, which is usually about
160×120 (so if you resize it to 640×480 it will look very bad).
To calculate the required size for memory_limit in php.ini,
calculate the number of pixels in the image and multiply by 5:
For example, 1600×1200 = 1600 * 1200 * 5 = 9600000 = 10M
Easy solution: install ImageMagick

Anyone have any idea how to fix the phpthumb script please?

??

Thanks for responding.

Yes, that’s the one I mean. All the header images are supposed to be that quality.
Any idea on how to fix that in the phpThumb script?

I’m new to WordPress.

Thanks again, I’ll have a play and see how it goes.

I’m sorry, I don’t follow – novice!
The developer created the custom fields, so that it’s easier to add them to the page.

where do I put this code?:
<?php $link = get_post_meta($post->ID, “link”, true);
if ($link !==”) {echo “$link”;} ?>
