Smugmug Offers Square Thumbnails In Galleries

[Jason Dunn]

If you're a Smugmug 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.





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 photo home page...the current ones are so 1998.

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.
