Product Image appearing "Squished"

[catisfaction]

Is there a particular Image size limit I need to stay within to make my product images appear correctly on the screen? I just tried adding a test product and the image comes up squashed into a rectangle on the front page and item page but when I click on the image it pops up full size just fine.

Can anyone suggest a solution or if I should keep my image sizes within a certain parameter.

 

TIA

Also, as a quickie, can anyone tell me how I know what to put in the "Product URL" area when I add a product. Thanks

It looks like youve got your images resizing to 100 x 80, you can either resize them manually so they look ok at this size or under Configuration -> Images you can set what size you want them all to resize to.

Here is a little trick:

When you set the image size in admin, set the width to 100 and the height to blank. (not zero, but blank). Now all your small images will be proportional no matter what size they start out.

 

I do not use the product URL field when adding a product. I believe it is for linking to another page that tells about the item. ie an information page. It is not a required field.
