advice and help

[Cleo]

Nothing wrong with having one or two large thumbs in your gallery. I do this all the time as I think it makes for a better layout.

You don't say what you are using for photo editing. I use Photoshop/Imageready and find that when I make a pic smaller I often have to do a bit of sharpening after I reduce its size.

Kristian's suggestion is also good advice.
