It depends what looks better. It depends on what the photo looks like. Whether the full image shows off what they want to see more than a small portion would

Sometimes cropping can make a photo look better, sometimes it can't

If its a lousy gallery, you might have better luck cropping out her boobs, etc

Also depends if its automatic cropping or by hand. Depends how your crop settings are.

I manually go through the process where I can crop all of my tgp thumbs I upload and I only end up cropping about 25 percent because I feel the full sized would be more clickable.

However, on the other hand. Once content becomes saturated thumbs that are handcropped will continue to do better because they think they haven't seen it (for tgps that depend on prod, this helps even more). So handcropped might be better if you dont plan on ever changing and will be seen by the masses (promo). In the members area, handcropped might also be better because they have to click to see the full sized which takes them longer, which makes them interact a little more and actually see the full sized instead of skimming through the set quickly and clicking the few thumbs that look good. (which would in turn, make them feel like theyve seen the set in a couple minutes)

Another reason handcropping would be a positive in the members area is that the set will look alot more unique upon first glance
