You do not specify what your original picture is ...
that would help others to answer your question
but as I do have to resize often pictures and I am using both Troi
and InsideScan for such jobs, my experience is that some quality loss
occurs...
when quality of a small picture really matters I use Adobe Photoshop
(CS3 Extended) or Graphic Converter to do the job and both
applications are scriptable ... I am a mac user so I use Applescript
to let Photoshop do the job ...
Important settings are the 'Bicubic Sharper' (best for reduction)
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/photoshop/pdfs/
photoshop_cs3_applescript_ref.pdf
This is how such a script for the Mac can look #1, #2, #3 are
variables set by Filemaker before having Filemaker run the
Applescript ...
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS3"
set display dialogs to never
set theFile to alias "#1"
set theFilePath to "#2" as string
set type units of settings to pixel units
set ruler units of settings to pixel units
open theFile with options {mode:RGB, resolution:72, use
antialias:true, constrain proportions:true}
set docRef to current document
resize image docRef height #3 resample method bicubic sharper
tell docRef
save as PNG in theFilePath
end tell
close current document without saving
end tell
maybe this point you in the right direction (PNG could be JPG... and
my advise for small thumbnials is at least setting the quality level
of the JPG at high / 8)

Hi,
Using "TrFile_CreateThumbnail" I think the quality of the smallest
thumbnails are not very good, is it possible to include some filter or
whatever is needed? It seems the antialiasing option dosen't do it.
