How can one troubleshoot and debug issues related to image quality when using the gd lib in PHP for thumbnail generation?

To troubleshoot and debug issues related to image quality when using the gd lib in PHP for thumbnail generation, you can adjust the quality parameter in the imagejpeg function. By setting a higher quality value, you can improve the image quality of the generated thumbnails. 

// Create a thumbnail
$source_image = 'original_image.jpg';
$thumbnail = imagecreatefromjpeg($source_image);

$thumbnail_width = 100;
$thumbnail_height = 100;
$thumbnail_image = imagecreatetruecolor($thumbnail_width, $thumbnail_height);

imagecopyresampled($thumbnail_image, $thumbnail, 0, 0, 0, 0, $thumbnail_width, $thumbnail_height, imagesx($thumbnail), imagesy($thumbnail));

// Adjust the quality parameter for better image quality
$quality = 90; // Set the quality value between 0 to 100
imagejpeg($thumbnail_image, 'thumbnail.jpg', $quality);

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($thumbnail);
imagedestroy($thumbnail_image);
