Halcyon56 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 This might be a very basic question for you experienced users...and I've tried searching the forum, with negative results, before posting. I'm uploading product images and unless the width vrs. height ratio is perfectly in accordance to that which is set up in the Admin section, images don't look ok. I have images that are wider than others and some that are taller, but in thumbnail view they get resized to the same proportion and thus look either extended or compressed. How do you guys deal with this? Am I missing something obvious here? Is there a contribution/add-on to tweak this? Any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooks Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 admin -> images set all height values to blank (empty) then no distortion I also reccommend u use osC Thumb http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5491 it is better than most thumbnailers. Makes sure u use minimum bandwidth & get best quality for size. Quote Sam Remember, What you think I ment may not be what I thought I ment when I said it.

Halcyon56 Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks Sam...I was indeed looking into the oscThumb contribution and looks very interesting. admin > images > set height values to empty Only height values, not width? I assume this will set a fix standard width for all thumbnails and the height will vary according to each picture. If I set all width values to empty, will it keep a fix height and the width vary according to each photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, set height & leave width emprty gives u that. Quote Sam Remember, What you think I ment may not be what I thought I ment when I said it.
