Yahoo! Store automatically generates thumbnails for sections an items. You control the height and width of these thumbnails under the global controls VARIABLES. The default is *45x45 pixels which is a little small for me. I usually shoot for 65x65 pixels, but customize them accordingly to the proportions of the products or images I'm using. You can also have create unique thumbnails for each item using the ICON image. For example, if you have the product "Riot Gear Barbie," and the 65 pixel tall automatic thumbnail doesn't show enough detail for someone to see what the item actually looks like, you can create a custom icon for the product. Simply open your graphics program with the product photo, focus on a detail like Barbie's Urban Assault Helmet and crop the photo. Resize to 65x65 pixels. Save as a GIF file and strip it down to as few as possible colors to maximize that load speed. I usually rename custom icons with the name of the ID of the product, and ICON, i.e., BARBIE1234-ICON.GIF. I also store all custom product icons in a separate folder. You DO have to load these babies by hand. I usually save this to the last TWEAK phase of working on a Yahoo! Store, so I don't have to EDIT each page 4 or 5 times.
