I use both photoshop an psp. For thumbs, I generally take the image, copy and paste as a new image, then resize to the thumb size. The prob might be in the options used to resize the image more than the compression of jpg. Then, in PSP, I go to export>optomize image jpg and work with the window to get a file just under the 15kb allowed. Generally my thumbs run from about 9 to even 5kb! This is little stuff but it looks ok as a thumbnail image. See if you have any options for the "method" of resizing the image in the first place. Several different computer ways do resizing, some taking more away from the clarity and look of the image than others. TomDart.
