cropping an image to size...?

[Milsnips]

hi there,

i'm uploading to my photo gallery and this is what i'm after..

When user uploads image, i automatically create a 75x75 thumbnail, however
using the GetThumbnailIma ge function drops the quality and distorts it, so
what i would like to do is:

resize the original image to:
Width: 75px
Heigh: relative size to image

then any additional size outside the bounds of 75x75 to be cropped so i get
a non-distorted thumbnail image.

This is the code i have so far...any help appreciated,
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sub ResizeImage(ByV al s As IO.Stream, ByVal outputFilename As String)
Dim oImage As System.Drawing. Image =
System.Drawing. Image.FromStrea m(s)

Dim newWidth, newHeight As Integer
newWidth=75
newHeight=75

'''here i'd like to resize the original image first to width=75,
height = relative to width resize, then crop off any unneeded bits of the
image outside the 75x75 bounds.

Dim bmpOut As New Bitmap(newWidth , newHeight)
Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromIm age(bmpOut)
g.Interpolation Mode =
System.Drawing. Drawing2D.Inter polationMode.Hi ghQualityBicubi c
g.FillRectangle (Brushes.White, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight)
g.DrawImage(oIm age, 0, 0, newWidth, newHeight)
oImage.Dispose( )

bmpOut.Save(out putFilename, System.Drawing. Imaging.ImageFo rmat.Jpeg)
g.Dispose()
g = Nothing
bmpOut.Dispose( )
bmpOut = Nothing
oImage.Dispose( )
oImage = Nothing
End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------------------
thanks,
Paul.
