The following function changes the size of an image object and optionally changes the ratio of the image or crops the image. Perfectly for creating thumbnails.

public enum ImageResizeOptions
{
KeepRatio, // Keeps the aspect ratio of the original image
Stretch, // Does not observe the ration, but stretches the image to fill the target size.
Crop // Keeps the ratio and resizes the smaller side of the image to fill the target and crops the larger side.

The function can be called with different optional parameters. Some of them are optional.
newWidth and newHeight define the maximum size of the new image.
Set resizeOptions = Stretch to stretch the image instead of keeping the original image ratio.
Set resizeOptions = Crop to crop the image at the edge. This will help filling the image size of the new image if stretch is set to false.
the qualityOptions parameter defines the quality of the image rendering. A higher quality setting is slower.
