How can I make thumbnails clearer?

[aribert888]

In my image gallery I want to integrate thumbnails.
But how to make them clearer when they are so small.

I'd be happy about a recommendation how to improve them using Photoshop filters.

Thanks a lot.

try to add a filter for sharpening the image

filters>sharpen>unsharp mask


or use the 'crop tool' and only take a part of the site as thumb.

as sense says use the unsharp mask filter, also when u scale them down dont scale them from eg 2000 pixs to 50 all in one go

scale 2000 to 1400 then to 900 then to 600 > 300 > 150 > 50

doing it that way keeps more of the detail in the image, i sometimes do a small unsharp mask as i am bringing the image size down, this also keeps the detail higher

hope this helps
