stuveltje - check out the free download over at neosoft.com - its called express thumbnail creator - I use it sometimes when I run into problems with sets - it allows you to set the compression quality to a little higher % - I sometimes let it run as high as 93% to try and get a 150 thumb that keeps the original pics quality - its also nice for batching thumbs and creating image (html) pages on the fly. The only thing you give up though is that the thumb may be a little bigger bytewise
