Hi Peter,
The content makers use these pictures and the designers create the
presentation layers.
It worked like this:
- We have a stock of high res pictures on some dedicated server.
- A bunch of domains (all related) use these pictures, in different
dimensions.
- A lot of third parties request the info and will use it in ever
changing context (RSS feeds, websites, mobile apps, flyers, desktop
publishing, etc).
Now there are (at least) two approaches:
1) pull the pictures from the pictureserver, and resize them in the
domain where they are used.
2) Let the picture server decide (based on filename) what dimensions the
requested picture should be. We did this.
The pictureserver had some services like delivering small pictures on
some subject, so the content maker can pick the right one.
The pictureserver also can count how often which picture is requested:
in some cases there were fees involved to the owner of the picture. (Of
course this can all be circumvented.)
There are different approaches to solve the same problem: I know that.
I merely posted in this thread to say that dynamic resizing combined
with storing that file can have it uses in certain situations.
I also think it isn't always the smartest solution to resize them all
beforehand, like Jerry prefers.
Regards,
Erwin Moller
