I render my images to disk in .psd format. Open them up in Adobe Photoshop 6.01, fix some glitches if needed, and then I use Save for Web, reducing image size and setting JPEG quality to a value that keeps the image just under 500K. Then I open up the saved JPEG in good old humble MS Paint. I pick a square area of interest, copy it, paste it into a new MS Paint image, resize and crop to 200x200px. Then I save it out as [imagename]THUMB.jpg The resulting thumb may not have the highest quality possible, but it is always under 15 K and works quite well. Works for me.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
