Thumbnail vs. html - 4/21/2002 16:11:34
I've heard there are advantages to using html to link from a small photo, (say, on your product page), to a larger one. (Same photo, bigger size). Currently, I import the large photo to the product page, then hit the "thumbnail" on the tool bar at the bottom of the screen, then save. Which is better? Regards, Scotty

Same thing, Scotty. Your way is fine.
You *can* check to see you're getting the best crunching you can though, by right-clicking the thumbnail and checking its properties....ie. file size. If you do a test of both ways, you can then have a comparison to see which is smaller. However, autothumbnailing saves tons of time, so..."if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
In certain instances, autothumbnailing will compress too much (depending on what you're using the thumbnails for and what degree of compression is acceptable for the site), in which case you might be forced to create your own.

Scotty,
You can change the sixe of the thumbnails. Go to Tools>Page Options and click the Auto Thumbnail tab. Set the size you want in pixels.
Enjoy!

Jego; can you explain what you mean by "what degree of comression is acceptable for the site?
Charles; thanks for the reminder on being able to resize thumbnails. I'd never used it, so forgot it was there.
Regards, Scotty

Sorry Scotty...missed getting back to this post.
FP has its own compression factor when making thumbnails (anyone know what percentage it is?). Some pictures compress better than others. Depending on what you're making the thumbnails of, they may look "okay" or they may look kind of crappy. Most times they look perfectly acceptable. Again, depends on "what" the picture is and how much detail you'd like (or need) to see in the smaller version of the pic.
