 * Hi,
    I have created a portfolio site which uses next gen gallery to display the
   [designer’s work](http://www.khawarbilal.com/work). The problem is my client 
   is not happy with the quality of thumbnails created automatically by next gen
   gallery. Is there any way to sharpen these thumbnail OR any technique to make
   thumbnails manually? Thanks in advance.

 * lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php
 * Line 903:
 *     ```
       function fastimagecopyresampled (&$dst_image, $src_image, $dst_x, $dst_y, $src_x, $src_y, $dst_w, $dst_h, $src_w, $src_h, $quality = 4)
   
       // Optional "quality" parameter (defaults is 3).  Fractional values are allowed, for example 1.5.
       // 1 = Up to 600 times faster.  Poor results, just uses imagecopyresized but removes black edges.
       // 2 = Up to 95 times faster.  Images may appear too sharp, some people may prefer it.
       // 3 = Up to 60 times faster.  Will give high quality smooth results very close to imagecopyresampled.
       // 4 = Up to 25 times faster.  Almost identical to imagecopyresampled for most images.
       // 5 = No speedup.  Just uses imagecopyresampled, highest quality but no advantage over imagecopyresampled.
       ```
