The problem with such a mechanical approach is that pure resizing can make dreadful thumbnails. What is often needed is cropping followed by resizing. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com/ HTML 4.01 spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/ validator: http://validator.w3.org/ CSS 2.1 spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/ validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ Why We Won't Help You: http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/05/05/why_we_wont_help_you

What is often needed is cropping followed > by resizing. I guess sometimes large volume efficiency can trump your wise strategy. Me, I don't do volume, I believe there are far too many pictures in the world! <g> Btw, I have just this minute finished a small page of thumbs. I cropped with a set aspect so all *thumbnails* (not enlargements) get to be same size and aspect. I resize all to the width I want (this bit can be done by batch...) The crop tool rectangles any area you want on the big picture destined for enlargement - you drag it by its corner holding down shift to keep aspect constant. The area chosen will be undistorted and right for thumbnail. It does not always matter that the aspect is not a true reflection of the enlargement, better is that all the thumbs are same size and aspect and relevant details shown. That they are all the same size makes for easy float layout. -- dorayme

I use a script to create all the thumbnails, but look over them and use GIMP to improve (or redo) those that don't look good. -- Chris F.A.
