MORE PICS - don't resize my photos and admin has a mind of it's own

Hi There,

I am so frustrated and hope there's a kind soul out there who can help me. I'm sure I'm not the first to experience this problem, but I can't find a solution.

 

I have installed the More Pics contribution and all my photos display in the product info page within the same sized box, meaning that they are distorted and stretched to a perfect square.

 

My photos are all different dimensions and I want the More Pics contribution to stop resizing them.

 

How do I tell this contribution to display the photos to a constrained maximum, but to keep their own ratios so they don't look distorted?

 

You you see what I mean here:

as you can see, it's blowing out my left column and placing every shot in that annoying, ugly, square box.

 

Now somewhere along the way I discovered that I could elect to not have the photos display on the product_info page, and only have them come up in the popup box, and what I discovered was that in the popup box they maintained their original size without being distorted, so I thought I'd use this as a solution. However as soon as I added more than two or three photos, the following weird thing starts happening:

 

in admin, when I add a picture to a product and elect (by ticking the boxes) as to where I want the photos displayed (either the popup, category etc) it totally ignores my selection and just keeps showing the green dot as putting it on the product page anyway? What's with that?

 

Anyone know the configuration setting combinations to get my photos either to only show in the popup where they won't be distorted (meaning get rid of the box on the product_info page) OR let me not have stretched and distorted photos on the product_info page?

 

Hope someone can help.

 

Thanks very much in advance.

I've just discovered that what happens is all photos for a product are resized to whatever dimensions the first photo in the series has.

Meaning it's not necessarily the square.

It's still a right pain.

Any ideas?
