Title: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Create New Thumbnails Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Create New Thumbnails * [lenzenmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lenzenmi/) * (@lenzenmi) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-create-new-thumbnails/) * When you select Set Fix Dimension while generating new thumbnails, the cropping is looking pretty good these days. * The only issue I have, is with vertical photos. In general, if I’ve taken a photo vertically of a person, the face tends to be near the top of the photo. The cropping function by default crop the center portion of a vertically aligned photo, giving me thumbnail of bellies and breasts. It would be nice if the cropping began at the top of the photo, or even better – applied some form of face recognition. * Would it be possible to open up a vertical crop position option for future releases where a crop top,center,bottom option could be selected? * Again, only needed for the set fix dimensions option. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) Viewing 2 replies - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) * Thread Starter [lenzenmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lenzenmi/) * (@lenzenmi) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-create-new-thumbnails/#post-2345454) * I added the easy top, middle, bottom functionality with these patches.
