Newbie question -- gallery multiple hover effects

Hello.

Im trying to build a gallery with about 24 thumbnails in it. What happens is that it initially does some fadein animations and then when everything is visible upon hovering on the gallery everything fades out except the one where the pointer is on, in turn mousing out of the gallery area all the thumbnails will fadein to 100% again.

This is the code I have for the hover. I cant seem to make only one of them 100% on mouseover.

$("#thumbMain").hover(function(){
            $(this).stop(true, true).animate({opacity:"-=0.8"},1000);
            }, function(){
            $(this).stop(true, true).animate({opacity:"+=0.8"},1000);
            },
            function(){
            $(".thumb").stop(true, true).animate({opacity:"+=0.8"},1000);
            });

Help will be most appreciated.
