 * My thumbnails (300×300) appear blurry. I recreated the thumbnails with the same
   sizes as in the gallery options and other options. Should the thumbnail sizes
   in all these 3 locations be the same? Anything else you would suggest? My images
   are around 3000×3000

 * [@belginyucelen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/belginyucelen/) – Going 
   from very large to small such as the case here can cause some image degradations.
   The thumbnails can be the same in all locations; or, they can be different in
   each location this is not as relevant in this case.
 * As it is, you are displaying images 250×250 which if the thumbnails are 300×300
   could cause the thumbnail to be resized into that space and this may cause some
   of the “blurry” effect you are seeing as well.

 * If going from very large to small can cause some degradations, what would you
   suggest?
 * I reloaded to a new gallery. Thumbnails are looking better although some are 
   still not the best. all thumbnails are 250×250 now. There are only 2 places, 
   right? gallery settings and other options?
 * Also when I reload images to a new gallery do I need to recreate the thumbnails
   again from the gallery page everytime?

 * [@belginyucelen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/belginyucelen/) – The gallery
   settings will be reflected in the default Insert Gallery Window’s customizations
   accordion panel, you may need to check existing insert displays as they will 
   be using the values that were set when the display was inserted (or adjusted 
   to afterward).
 * By “reload images to a new gallery”, if you are using the NextGEN Gallery UI 
   then the options set under Gallery > Other Options > Thumbnail Options will be
   used. If they do not match the thumbnail dimensions of the other images in the
   gallery you will then need to use the Bulk Action to generate new thumbnails 
   at the gallery’s dimensions as needed.
