    I’ve got WordPress 4.1 and installed Gmedia 1.35 (latest version)
    I’ve created a new album, added files to it (all jpg, quality 96) and then created a gallery from the album, using the Phantom module. I think that’s the proper order, or isn’t it?
    I’ve tweaked the settings of the Phantom gallery (most notably set thumbnail size to 300×225, so they’re not too small), and so far it works fine for my purposes. There’s just one nasty thing I couldn’t figure out yet: the thumbnails have a horribly low quality and look very mushy and all, plain awful to look at. If I could get this fixed and have the thumbnails have a good quality (like the input images), I could have the gallery go live.
    Sadly, I didn’t find anywhere an option to change the ridiculously low thumbnail quality, neither in the gallery settings nor anywhere else. So, how do I change the thumbnail quality? Do I have to use a different module, other than Phantom? Do have to tweak some settings before or during file upload? Something else entirely?

    Here you are. As you can see previews thumbnails of all except 5 (in the center – i manually greate this thumbnail in photoshop, just for example) is very poor quality, because they do not 350px width, so they just “zoomed”. How can make them to generates a width 350px? Thank you very much!
    I think in core.php (thumbnail function) we can make somethink with “resize”, can we? Thanks.

                                                          $editor->set_quality( $thumbimg['quality'] );
    
    							$resized = $editor->resize( $thumbimg['width'], $thumbimg['height'], $thumbimg['crop'] );
    							if ( is_wp_error( $resized ) ) {
    								@unlink( $fileinfo['filepath'] );
    								@unlink( $fileinfo['filepath_original'] );
    								$return = array(
    									"error" => array( "code" => $resized->get_error_code(), "message" => $resized->get_error_message() ),
    									"id"    => $fileinfo['basename'],
    									"tip"   => "editor->resize->thumb({$thumbimg['width']}, {$thumbimg['height']}, {$thumbimg['crop']})"
    								);
    
    								return $return;
    							}

    If you need such a big sizes for thumbnails then better modify Phantom module:
    Edit /module/phantom/init.php file on lines 35-36:

    			,'image' => "/{$gmGallery->options['folder']['image']}/{$item->gmuid}"
    			,'thumb' => "/{$gmGallery->options['folder']['image_thumb']}/{$item->gmuid}"
    

    modify to

    			,'image' => "/{$gmGallery->options['folder']['image']}/{$item->gmuid}"
    			,'thumb' => "/{$gmGallery->options['folder']['image']}/{$item->gmuid}"
    

    so module will use web images (max 1600×1600) for thumbnails.

    Better copy modified module to ‘/wp-content/grand-media/module/’ folder, so after plugin update you’ll not loose your changes. Also I recomend to rename folder to “phantom-mod” and edit index.php file to change name and title:

    'name' => 'phantom-mod',
    'title' => 'Phantom with Big Thumbnails',
