# Crappy thumbnails

 * I am building a wordpress site using the Total theme by Themeforest.
 * I am used to having an html site that I built in Dreamweaver and cant’ quite 
   figure out or get used to an issue with what I’m trying to do in WordPress…Crappy
   thumbnails in the portfolio.
 * The thumbnails generated in the portfolio are blurry. Awful. I have tried different
   resolution images including replicating what I see on the theme demo. So far 
   they are still unacceptable to my eye for two reasons:
 * 1. Blurry
    2. Cropping…I can’t control where to crop the images (and in fact 
   TO crop them! this thing just squishes everything)
 * I don’t have a live page yet…because it all looks too awful to my eye.
 * Are there any plug-ins someone can recommend? Techniques?
 * My original artwork is 54″ at 300 dpi
    The images I loaded to my portfolio are
   730 pixels at 72 dpi with the image size in the portfolio set up to be about 
   3.5″
 * So…since the shrinking thing looks so terrible…is there a way to set a portfolio
   item up so that it crops a section of the artwork that I can choose? Or a separate
   image I can create (like I did for my html site)?
 * [http://www.mushaboomdesign.com](http://www.mushaboomdesign.com) is the dreamweaver
   site I have up right now…it’s a placeholder until I can get wordpress figured
   out.
 * Thanks,
    Barry

 * WordPress support does not handle support for commercial themes, you should try
   and contact the author and see if they can help you troubleshoot.
