    Hi. do you mean to increase thumbs width or big images resolution? All the images thumbs are cut to 300px in width and height according in ratio. usually it's enought and you don't need better resolution. You can take a look at your thumbs. usually there are no thumb that goes far by 300px. But if you want to chage that, you can do it in code here:

    http://screencast.com/t/F8ZOjK3FLr

    administrator/components/com_unitegallery/inc_php/unitegallery.globals.class.php

    line 23

    If you do it for existing images you must delete thumbs folder (.unitegallery_thumbs) in each folder where the images are located, or change it's name. Then the thumbs will recreate.

    I will try this but I don't think it's the solution to my problem. Thank you for the detailed response though, I appreciate it!

    I actually want to increase the quality of my thumbnails, their quality seems to be decreased relative to the actual
    image, a little too much for my liking, and appear a bit blurry on my website. I'm curious If I can increase their fidelity so they
    look as crisp as possible, but still allow the page to load quickly. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

    Hi. the lower the resolution the smaller the image. It's a play of the parameters. Now I set 85% in the code (if I don't wrong). If I set to 100% the thumb image will be big. sometimes even bigger then the original :)

    Anyway, I'll try to solve this issue in the gallery itself. I want to add options for custom thumbnail (that you enter thumb url by yourself) and make size options (sometimes the image itself can come instead of the thumbnails).

    And of cause make the thumb resize options be controlled by general settings and not only from code.

    It will take me couple of days for this update. up to a week. Please write me after a week, I"ll tell you if there is an update or not, and what I did.

    or just download the update of cause if it will be available by then.
