I was experiencing poor quality with this technique also. The following seems to fix it, resulting in smoother resizing (also probably slower) graphics.setRenderingHint( RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING, RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY); Without this thumbnails were pixelated and generally kind of crappy. Again, a very helpful article.
