I'd like WordPress to display a gallery of thumbnail images. If the image is bigger than the thumbnail size (and it usually is) I'd like to crop out a section and display a uniform thumbnail.
I've seen it done before: http://wphelpcenter.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/screenshot2.png
Now it looks like this (not what I want): http://plinkplunk.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/not-like-this-jfc.png
Why can't I do it now?
