Thanks! It looks like the "ThumbsPlus 10 FAQ" forum section isn't available to the public yet. Here's what Laura wrote in that message:

So, for clarity: her Option 1 will only display your current thumbnails at a larger size (scale) but the actual thumbnail images in the database are still small. Option 2 is what you want if you want to have larger, more detailed thumbnails. When you set the new size, I'd recommend using multiples of 8 for the height and width, so you get the best jpeg compression efficiency.
