 * I was wondering how I can create custom thumbnails for the NextGen gallery. Even
   when i create new thumbnails in the gallery page, what displays in the web page
   is still the default cropping to the center of the image.

 * [@lisajwells](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lisajwells/). Yes, I tried 
   that. I did create new thumbnails that way, but it did not actually change the
   thumbnails in the gallery. I am wondering if there is an option in the individual
   galleries that overrides those thumbnails, which I might have selected. Even 
   though I have created new thumbnails the galleries are still default cropping
   to the middle of the image.

 * [@larajdesigns09](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larajdesigns09/) – The 
   thumbnails used by a display are those that were in effect when the display was
   inserted via the IGW (“green button”) in the TinyMCE editor’s visual tab.
 * If you want to change the size of those thumbnails you will need to specifically
   over-ride them in the specific display; or, you can remove the existing display
   and re-insert it after you have re-sized the images under Gallery > Manage Galleries.
 * I would recommend the latter if you are also modifying the default cropping of
   the thumbnail as well since this does not transfer into the displays if they 
   were inserted before you change the cropping.
 * Thanks!

 * I decided to do the thumbnails a different way and just changed the default size
   for all thumbnails so that the create new thumbnail option would work. Thanks
   for your help.
