What do you use to make thumbs?
I need to make a bunch of galleries. Do you know a program that will create portrait thumbs from both landscape and portrait images.
Thanks |

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded it and tested. It seems to only have the stretch to fit option. Im looking for something that will make all portrait thumbs using a trim method and not distorting the thumb |

Well, I've found it's easier to make a whole person. Thumbs are included, usually.

best bet is to take the time and just use PS to do them considering most of the programs just shrink to fit, and you get better looking thumbs because your choosing the section of the thumb that you wanted, and when you shrink the image it shouldn't distort it all...

If I'm concerned about the thumbs being nicely colored and cropped in special ways, I use Photoshop. If I'm lazy, I'll script one using ImageMagik and PHP and run it against a directory.

Best SW you can use for that purpose is WebImageGuru, it can smart crop any images, really fast and reliable, can do batch also.

Photoshop, Fireworks, or have a script do it on the fly on your site with ImageMagick or GD.
