Everytime I try to get galleries they turn out looking like they were done with crayons...

whats crayons?

and you cant really expect to have kick ass wuality from bad original. that one looks like its movie jpeg and those usually are rather bad quality.

You must have seen the antihotlinking Japanese pic? either try reloading the page or cut and paste it into a browser window.. You will see a very jacked thumb. The original picture was just fine. And all other software that does thumbs is just fine. It is only tmanager that doesn't not do them properly. I tried adjusting the imagemagick settings and used the defaults provided and nothing is making any difference.

ahh, now I see. change image magick presets.

those guys at IM were playing with jpeg layers or somethin and did some changes in CLI... so, long story short - in versions prior 6.1.x both presets work, then on later version they have changed somethin and it gives images like this.

so, changing presets will help.

P.S.

you obviously have version with licence.ini

I strongly suggest you donwload latest free version and update. keep the old licence.ini and the rest of instructions are in the readme/install.txt file comming with package - there is one pretty old workaround on those image magick CLI issues. preset wont work anyway, but script will stop creating those thumb.jpg.0 thumb.jpg.1 and so on files.
