Maybe the face example wasn't a good one. I have seen at least 2 apps, one being WordPress, that automatically generate a square thumbnail for an image from an area on the image that doesn't start with coordinates at the top left of the original image. How does it do that? We have always used GD for images, so perhaps I need to look into IM. > One simple option might be to have the user select which portion of the > picture will be used to for the thumb nail. Yes, we do that. Of course, some users complain because they have to actually do the work. If I can figure out a way to automatically generate that thumb from a somewhat acceptable are of the image by default that would ease some issues.
