Hello, I did a family photo gallery, and from my experiences it would be best if you handle the thumbnail generation during the upload process. Just make sure you have a naming convention or link the thumnail into your repository/DB so you don't loose that space when you delete the record. It really does not consume too much space, pretty easy to do, and a lot easier to manage if you do it in your control environment. -Brad
