Is there a way for me to use the generated thumb image instead of the actual image? Because I wanted to use this thumbsize in gallery and use the actual image size when the user clicks it.
Another approach is to use the great ImageGen package. With this package you can specify exactly which size you want your images to be. So if the generated thumbnail size doesn't quite fit your size, then you can use just sepcify how wide og high you want your images to be.
It's a great package, and besides that it's very easy to use. Up to you :)
How to get the thumb image generated by umbraco

If know you the url of the main image, just add _thumb to the filename.
For example, if your url is /media/123/myImage.jpg, then the thumbnail url will be /media/123/myImage_thumb.jpg

But I usually get the image url using the umbraco media library. I was thinking if there is a extension wherein I can pull up the thumb image file.
Hi Sherry,
You can do a little string-manipulation to get the thumbnail image:
<img src="{substring-before($mediaNode/umbracoFile, concat('.', $mediaNode/umbracoExtension))}_thumb.{$mediaNode/umbracoExtension}" />/Chriztian
