Nope, jus a nice PHP interface.
I have no idea what phpthumb uses, but usually it's GD. People have been
telling me ImageMagick has some benifits/should be better then GD.
Personally, I'm not very well educated in image quality, and the
combination of not that great an eyesight and a lousy monitor renders me
quite useless in discussions which image is of better quality, unless the
differences are fairly large.

If both GD and ImageMagick, in combination with different filters, still do
not produce the desired results, I do not have an easy solution for you.
I'm only in the habit of making simple, light weight pictures for the web,
an not heavy quality :-).

A very blunt solution is offcourse to let Photoshop do it if that's the
only one that works: install, exec() or someting, e presto.
