I do it in Photoshop, although I use PS7. Generally, I put a selection of the size for the thumbnail over an interesting area of the image, then copy and paste to a new image and "Save for Web" (a feature that's been in Photoshop since version 6 or so, or maybe 5.5). I also sometimes use the "Crop" tool, setting it to the dimensions I want and then just sizing it over an area that I think would make a good thumbnail. Crop, save, done. bonni
