Resizing image in ASP.NET losing quality?
<p>I have a script which resizes images, I did not write this script, nor do I know any ASP.NET, but I have been assigned the task of fixing an issue with it!</p>

<p>The problem is, the resulting image from the resize appears to be of less quality than the upload, even if the file uploaded is already set to the correct size.</p>

<p>Uploaded image - <a href="http://climatechange.cbi.org.uk/uploaded/whatevhomep.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://climatechange.cbi.org.uk/uploaded/whatevhomep.jpg</a>
Resized image - <a href="http://climatechange.cbi.org.uk/ext_pages/resizeimage.aspx?img=/uploaded/whatevhomep.jpg&amp;w=500" rel="nofollow">http://climatechange.cbi.org.uk/ext_pages/resizeimage.aspx?img=/uploaded/whatevhomep.jpg&amp;w=500</a></p>

<p>The script that is doing the resizing is as follows, any idea how to correct the issue?</p>
