If you're a <a href="http://www.smugmug.com" target="_blank">Smugmug</a> user, check your gallery settings for a new option: square thumbnails. You might not thing this would be useful, or even that big of a deal, but it's amazing what a difference it makes. Check out these before and after images. The first image below shows a gallery of mine with the thumbnail images as they were originally.<br /><br /><img border="1" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1205975496.usr1.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br /><MORE /><br /><br />The next image shows the same gallery with square thumbnails. What a huge difference in the visual design of the page - the matching sizes look so much more professional. I love it! Go Smugmug! Of course, what I really want are bigger gallery images on my <a href="http://photos.jasondunn.com" target="_blank">photo home page</a>...the current ones are so 1998.<br /><br /><img border="1" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1205975507.usr1.jpg" alt="" /><br />

Thanks for pointing this out, that does look way better, something I'll keep in mind.

Oh, I should point out that you have to rotate your images one way, then back again, in order to force the re-generation of the thumbnails.
