hmm, it never occurred to me that the thumbnails don ´t look good, especially if you turn up the quality. We are using a PHP library for resizing, and I would need to check all the functions with my partner to see if there are other options in the resizing except for quality. I know for sure there isnt a specific function for "sharpen", but there are functions for: imageantialias(on/off), imagecopyresampled and imagecopyresized. (Taken from http://th.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php )

I can ´t immediately see that any change in the settings above would help. If you turn of antialias, thumbs will look very pixelated.

This is not Imagevues fault - Take a look at your fullscreen image:

... then take a look at the thumbnail for this image:

It is a direct mirror of your fullsize image!

Your custom image however:

This has gone through some custom process of contrast or saturation or whitening. That is not any default SHARPENING! As you can see compared to your original image, the original has much more grey in the background, and this will not disappear merely with sharpening the image. Why not fix your original images first?
