How do I create a thumbnail in Picture Manager?

[lthompson]

Can a thumbnail be created in Picture Manager? I have tried looking it up
online but only get information which is either not related to Picture
Manager or is about the thumbnail view on Picture Manager.

Hi, lthompson,

I use the Windows Image Resizer Power Toy for Windows XP. If you're running
Windows Vista, there is another freeware download that works in a similar
manner; I can look it up if you're interested.

I use FrontPage a lot for the automatic thumbnail functionality; it will
create a thumbnail on a web page that then links to the original image.

Hi L.,

To add one bit to Susan's reply, in Office Picture Manager the thumbnails are basically, as you mentioned, just views. You can use
the Export Pictures feature and set it to the Email Small 160x160 pixel size, but be sure you pick an empty folder for the
destination (it will default to the same folder you're in).

You can also create a set of thumbnails in the Powertoy or in packages such as http://irfanview.com if you don't have a graphics
editing package. Be sure to check your settings when doing so, so that you are creating a new set of graphics in thumbnail size
rather than replacing your current graphics.

The Picture Manager creates thumbnails in the Application Data, Local, OIS
folder. Usually there will be several thumbnails per .jpg, but if you have an
editing program you can separate them.
