Does anyone have a solution for poor quality thumbnails generated in Photoshop Web Gallery and/or Bridge?

The originals are tack sharp, so that is not the issue. I have tried all the settings (small, medium, large and custom). 75 to 450 dpi. The results are the same — they look blurred. I have also tried reducing the originals to limit data loss during re-sizing, but the results are the same. When the
web galley is created, the thumbnails are very poor quality.

For a test, I used Photoshop (not in the Web Gallery) to re-size the images to the thumbnail size and they looked great, so something in Web Galllery is really messing them up.

Photoshop CS2 v. 9.0.2 on a G5 Mac.

Thanks in advance:

Leo

Well they are only thumbnails.

What do you have your resample set to?

I would suggest bicubic sharper.

I think I found the solution. The web browser’s html mark-up does not display the thumbnails as full sized images. When I downloaded the actual files to my server and went to the main homepage, the thumbnails were sharp.
