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

photoshop just use actions and batch processing

i use "Easy Thumbnails" pretty basic, works great though.

ACDSee or Arles

Yeah IMO id say use PS actions and as a batch job like jacked mentiond.

Othewise there is a ton of good Thumbnail creating software out there, alot of decent free ones too.

Good luck..

Hi there
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. :1orglaugh

I use Photoshop, the only way to go!

Shh or I will put your thumbs in here

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...

I use fireworks or photoshop

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.

I just feel if you do it in batch you lose control if the pic

Any idea where I can dowload trial or purchase a copy? I did a google but all it brought up was cracking sites.

Photoshop or Arles

Photoshop is the best!

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