How to prepare thumbnails with predefined size and rounded corners (rounded rectangles)? Need detailed instruction for Photoshop 7.0
thanks.
Using the rectangular marquee tool, set the feathering to suit your corner radius. Then in the Style box, select fixed size, then input your required size
into the height/width boxes
Click and drag on your image, copy and save the selection as a new imaage,

Some amplification: after making a selection, should we use "Edit" menu "Copy"(or Control-c), then go to the "Select" menu > "Save Selection" as
new file? Or "Paste" copied selection into new layer? This will increase size of image as we create a new file, and resulting image will be bigger than original. Should we use "Save for Web" instead? Or, after making a selection, choose "Crop" , then deselect, then "Save for Web"?
thanks

If you copy the selection with your method of choice it will place the selection onto the clipboard.
Then, when you select File>New document the doc size will be Clipboard, when
open, just Edit>Paste or ctrl+V.
Try both saves and see which is smaller, SfW strips out metadata amongst other things but as the pasted selection will not contain any, you should not see a size reduction due to this.

In your way, you meant under the Select menu choose ‘Save Selection’? The Save Selection dialog box appears, just go ahead and press the OK button. Then go to the File menu and do a Save or Save As?

I would make my selection.
Then, copy to the clipboard with ctrl+C.
Then, File>New, (ctrl+N) this will open with "Clipboard" as the default document, its size will be the same as your selection.
When the new document is open, ctrl+v will paste the contents of the clipboard into and fill the new document.
Do a Save and save as JPG, set quality to suit, then try a Save for Web and compare file sizes.

I just experimented with jpg images, cropped out extra margin only, then saving them as New JPG files, and find that a new images had it size increased even, and worst resolution: for example, original image was 28KB and 96 x 96 dpi, and new image is 30KB and 71 x 71 dpi. When I used "Save for Web" option instead, I got smaller size 19KB and 96 x 96 dpi – much better.
It seems, more correctly will be first to Save As original image with new name and in .PSD format. It looks, that when repeatedly saving a JPEG image, even in an advanced editor like Photoshop, compression artifacts are introduced into the image degrading the quality noticeably. Then we can edit image and save it in JPG format.
