where does the thumbnail image come from?

Line 1:
I'm confused: If you choose 'thumb', do you have to provide a thumbnail image, or is the "thumbnail" actually just a squeezed-up copy of the normal image, or is the Wiki software somehow generating a thumbnail image on the fly, or what?

:The software generates a sized-down image, so it's not just the big image scaled down by the browser. The image is stored on the web server, so it's generated only once to reduce performance impact. -- [[User:JeLuF|JeLuF]] 10:56, Jan 30, 2004 (UTC)
