Adobe PS-CS2 – Web Photo Gallery question about thumbnail quality…

Use smaller thumbnails. Thumbnails are thumbnails because they are small 300 or 400 pixels isn’t a thumbnail it is a full sized image. If you insist on doing the gallery the wrong way then try sharpening the images before you have Photoshop create the gallery. Do a batch sharpening.

Just don’t post your URL here. With images that large most people aren’t going to wait around to see your images. If we wanted to wait and watch paint dry we would go to the hardware store and get a can.

I want my thumbs to be 300-400 pixels but when I choose these setting they are simply downsized and not sharpend which leaves them looking quite bad.

Has anyone found a way around this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time.

Er, just don’t click on it, then. I enjoyed the pix, and it must have taken almost a full 1100 nanoseconds to d/l.

Besides, if you criticize others, at the least you must bottom post and use a std. sig.

Hah!

Anonymous R,

So basically you don’t know either.

Thanks for your helpful comments.

Another question, if that is insisting on "doing it the wrong way" then why is it an option in Photoshop CS2? Also, the small thumbs are not sharp either, they are just too small to notice most of the time.

Please dazzle us some more with your insight.

Thanks,
Brad

Under Preferences, set the resizing algorithm to "Bicubic Sharper".

Thanks Warren!

I figured there was something that would help. Your help is greatly appreciated.

See Anon R, there was an answer… even if you didn’t know it.
