I have poured over this ever since I have been on here, and tried many different formats. 1. Keeping them all landscape format 2. Keeping them all portrait format 3. Making a thumb totally different (for fun) 4. Doing a thumb exactly the same as the image 5. Making a thumb 200x200 I dont like having thumbnails of different orientation as I think it looks messy, so my latest 200x200 format makes everything uniform and tidy, I know I would have to time travel back 3 years to make my whole gallery consistent, clearly I am not going to do that. I have no objection to auto thumbnails although the thought of a php gallery does raise an eyebrow, because these sometimes further compress images on upload (admin will set that how they want it) this can really mess up an image if its isnt done correctly, and make them look over sharpened and even blocky. Some sites that I use apply too much compression on upload (probably to save server space), and on occasion this can wreck an image to the point that I just delete it, as I feel that it reflects poorly on my work. I never batch resize as I like to do every image individually (my preference)

The Truth is Out There
