Well I suggest something like this (which I use):
1. first, convert to jpg (for the quality)
2. then use: resize with the THUMBNAIL option on, BEVAL option off,
background
to your liking and x=100 and y=100.
this will ensure the image:
a. won't lose quality
b. won't lose aspect ratio
you will get a thumbnailed view that will be good for "tall" and "fat"
pictures as well.
Let me know if this helps,
