Easy way to generate image thumbnails for your models. Works with any Storage Backend.
From: [http://code.google.com/p/django-thumbs/](http://code.google.com/p/django-thumbs/)
**Usage example:**
==============
photo = ImageWithThumbsField(upload_to='images', sizes=((125,125),(300,200),)
To retrieve image URL, exactly the same way as with ImageField:
my_object.photo.url
To retrieve thumbnails URL's just add the size to it:
my_object.photo.url_125x125
my_object.photo.url_300x200
Note: The 'sizes' attribute is not required. If you don't provide it,
ImageWithThumbsField will act as a normal ImageField
**How it works:**
=============
For each size in the 'sizes' atribute of the field it generates a
thumbnail with that size and stores it following this format:
available_filename.[width]x[height].extension
Where 'available_filename' is the available filename returned by the storage
backend for saving the original file.
Following the usage example above: For storing a file called "photo.jpg" it saves:
photo.jpg (original file)
photo.125x125.jpg (first thumbnail)
photo.300x200.jpg (second thumbnail)
With the default storage backend if photo.jpg already exists it will use these filenames:
photo_.jpg
photo_.125x125.jpg
photo_.300x200.jpg
**Note:** It assumes that if filename "any_filename.jpg" is available
filenames with this format "any_filename.[widht]x[height].jpg" will be available, too.

A Django image thumbnail filter, adapted from code by [Batiste Bieler](http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/2007-05-13-1/).
This updated version drops support for cropping and just rescales. You should use it in your templates like this:
`<img src='{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ image.get_image_filename|thumbnail:"300w,listingimages" }}' alt="{{ image.title }}" title="{{ image.title }}" />`
This will produce a 300-pixel wide thumbnail of image, with the height scaled appropriately to keep the same image aspect ratio. 'listingimages' is the path under your MEDIA_ROOT that the image lives in - it'll be whatever upload_to is set to in your ImageField.
If instead you wanted an image scaled to a maximum height of 140px, you'd use something like this:
`<img src='{{ MEDIA_URL }}{{ image.get_image_filename|thumbnail:"140h,listingimages" }}' alt="{{ image.title }}" title="{{ image.title }}" />`
Note the number has changed from 300 to 140, and the trailing letter from 'w' to 'h'.
