Problem With Thumbnails I'm reducing images from "high image quality, highest pixels", 300 dpi, to approx 750 x 500, 72dpi. The thumbnail images are a mess. They're ok once you click on them and bring up the size. This happens with no manipulation and with effects. Either way I can't get these thumbnails to look right. It also occurrs mostly with photos of anything metal, which happens to be my favorite things to shoot, LOL! The more intricate the design, the worse the problem is. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention that I added an "unsharpen" mask which made it a tiny bit better. Thanks in advance. joan

I would guess (and a guess only) that it's the nature of the beast with so many lines over lines in a very small pic. By the way, great gallery..:-) Bob

Joan, I agree with Robert. Parallel lines often result in the problem you are having. How about other photos? VR John

I just answered my own question. Your other photos are excellent with none of the effect you get with the parallel lines. John

Thank you so much Bob and John. So far I've only had problems with metal that is very detailed. I had several photos in my portfolio that I had to take down because the thumbnails looked awful. All of them were highly detailed pics of the George Washington Bridge. The bridge is getting a facelift and there's scaffolding over the main sections. It's a fascinating design and I've taken it from all angles. I've tried everything to make the thumbnails look right. I appreciate your time to respond and the compliments on my photos. Thank you so very much. joan

This is a common phenomenon and one of my pet peeves also. This effect seems to be most pronounced with a thin bright line against a dark background. All of the fireworks shots on my website look all broken on the thumbnail. When the images are enlarged the pixelated lines clear up,...but not completely. The depressing part is that the original slides from which the images were scanned are flawless. The lines are all sharp and well defined.

Thank you Bob. At least I know it's not just my photos. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. I appreciate your response. joan
