I currently use EZThumbs to create thumbnails for an image gallery. It's simple, quick and easy to use.
Unfortunately, it won't allow me to make thumbnails which are merely a small selection of the picture. You know those thumbnails that are actually a 100% size small section of the actual picture?
Is there a thumbnail creator that allows you to do this and if so, where can I find it? Thank you for helping out.
What you describe is really different from the scope of thumbnail generation, which is traditionally just a matter of reducing the entire image.
What you describe is cropping, and any graphics program will do this, even Paint, which comes bundled for free with Windows.
Ah, yes, but I need to mass-crop. Is there such a thing as a mass-cropper?
I doubt it, after all, how would it know what to crop? Mass downsizing makes sense, it's just the same action for each image.
Mass cropping is more complicated.
You can use montage command line utility from ImageMagick package.
The mass operation achieved with simple windows shell scripting.
