Can I have a custom thumbnail image, different from the linked image in gallery/lightbox?

[ad_1]

I’m making a portfolio site and would like the thumbnail of my gallery to be a small cropped version of the linked image that pops up in light box.

Some of the images I have in the gallery have weird ratios and when it creates the default thumbnail, it makes them very tiny/”zoomed out”/not the right details. I would like the thumbnail to show a small portion of the linked image if that makes sense. Like if I had an image of the United States map, I would like the thumbnail to be just a portion of the northeast, but when you click on it, it will show the full image of the whole US map.

I’ve built my site with a theme and block, and bare additional CSS, so excuse my lack of knowledge of wordpress. I’m using the “gallery adv” block with a slider of multiple images. I don’t know if this is already a feature somewhere or a simple plugin I can download. Thanks!
