this is kinda complicated math to center it exactly so I will have to work on that for a while.

Also, some gallery images will look bad even when cropped in the middle because of the way the pic was cropped origially.
That's why I have several way to make the thumb.

For now I suggest running as is and then after building the site "redo" the thumbs you don't like using another method.

The automatic mode really gets your site up but the webmaster who fine tunes his thumbs using manual mode is going to have the better site; no dout!
