How can PHP GD-Lib be effectively utilized to achieve the desired image manipulation functionalities described in the forum thread?

To achieve the desired image manipulation functionalities using PHP GD-Lib, you can utilize functions like imagecreatefromjpeg(), imagecopyresampled(), and imagejpeg(). These functions allow you to create a new image from a JPEG file, resize and manipulate the image, and then save the modified image as a JPEG file. 

// Load the original image
$original_image = imagecreatefromjpeg('original.jpg');

// Create a new image with desired dimensions
$new_image = imagecreatetruecolor(200, 200);

// Resize and copy the original image to the new image
imagecopyresampled($new_image, $original_image, 0, 0, 0, 0, 200, 200, imagesx($original_image), imagesy($original_image));

// Save the modified image as a JPEG file
imagejpeg($new_image, 'modified.jpg');

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($original_image);
imagedestroy($new_image);
