 * This is just an enhancement request. What do you think about allowing a way to
   shrink an image and then extend the background to meet the thumbnail dimension
   requirements?
 * For example, my default thumbnail size is 150×150. I have an image that is 300
   ×450, but all of the image is important for the thumbnail. What I want to do 
   is proportionally shrink the image, making it 100×150, and then add 25×100 of
   background color of my choice filled in on **both** sides to make it 150×150.
 * This plugin is already great, but if this were implemented, I would like it even
   more. =}
