  Page	  Thumbnail
  Description	  Advanced

This tab establishes the layout of your thumbnails on the HTML page or pages. You can define the following attributes for your HTML thumbnail files:

  Layout Set the number of thumbnails per page. The Thumbnail frame position is active when the "Use frames for thumbnail pages" option in the Page tab is selected. This lets you choose a position on the page for the frame that contains the thumbnails.

  Size Specify the size of each thumbnail. You can choose to use either the Original image size for the thumbnail dimensions, or you can set a Custom size in the pixels entry box (both width and height will be equal).

  Image Specify the properties of the thumbnail on the HTML page. Indexed adds an index number to each image (aligned either in the Center, Right, or Left above the image) and Slide frame width sets the thickness of the frame (border) around the thumbnail.

  File Generate thumbnails from the original images in either GIF or JPEG format. Selecting Auto lets Ulead Photo Explorer decide which format is best to use according to the properties of the original image file. If you leave the Generate thumbnail file option clear, then the HTML file uses the original files to generate preview thumbnails, which could take longer to load depending on the size of the original files. The Options button lets you define settings specific to the two available file types.
