Well, if the original is 1024px x 768px and it's going to fit
_exactly_ in a 198px x 298px box, you're going to have to crop or
distort the image...

No it wasn't. The first appearance of any question in this thread to
deal with specific images--this thread was started with a question
about how to install IM--was the SEVENTH message.

Right. So once again I ask the same, tired question that I always ask
when actual output is different from intended output (and if you can't
provide this kind of information, no one CAN help you): what's the
DIFFERENCE between the two?

As I apparently have no choice but to repeat endlessly, if you can't
provide some amount of relevant detail in your questions you will get
no answers or poor answers (...and then no doubt complain about how
'unfriendly' the community is...)

No. You asked about why the image was not crisp enough. Even _you_
can't keep track of what questions _you_ asked in this thread; now do
you see why it's a good idea to start a new thread for each new
question?

Anyway, if the default IM quality is too low, the results will be
fuzzy/blurry/indistinct. It's always hard to make good quality
thumbnails of screenshots even in photoshop/fireworks/gimp where you
have total control, so it's not going to be easy doing it on the
server.

And again, please fix the date on your computer the current age on
your thread in the archive is "-634 min".
