Hi there,

Open up "style.css" and locate the following on line 566...

p img {max-width:100%;}

...and change it to this...

p img {max-width:100%; height:auto;}

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Chris

Good Morning Chris,

Here is the link, I still feeling the theme out, so this is a test...pretend you cant see the back ground image. there is an image under urban as well that does the same thing. I was also thinking of just stripping the read more link out.

I will have a question for you regarding the blog link/page and keeping its content localized to its page without sending images and post to other pages on the site once i spend more time on it... anyway.... cart before the horse there. Have a great Friday!

Hi there,

Can you provide a link to your site? I'll take a look.

Thanks!

Hello, Was there a resolve for this? I am seeing the same thing when I link from the filmstrip using the "read more" link. which brings up the window/inset page that pops up forcing the containers dimension on the image to fit .

@Chris,

Thanks for looking into this. Here's a test gallery I've just put together that I believe shows the problem:

http://www.mcgunnmedia.com/test/

When you open that link, without clicking through to the gallery, you can see images 2, 4 and 5 are vertically squashed to fit the thumbnail aspect ratio. 1 and 3 are also horizontally squashed, but since they are closer in ratio to the thumbnail, the effect is not as pronounced.

This can also be easily seen in the 2nd (window with red curtains) and 7th (water jug) photos in the homepage; just look at the thumbnails before the photo loads and you can see it shows the full window and jug, but squashed to fit the height of the thumbnail.

Please let me know if I'm missing a setting somewhere, or if this is a PrettyPhoto / theme limitation.

Thanks,

Filipe

@macfilipe

Im not seeing any distortion, the thumbs(on the homepage) will be cropped but not distorted(so it fits properly like the demo displays it)

maybe Im just missing it let me know

Chris,

The website is http://www.mcgunnmedia.com.

You can see the thumbnail problem right in the home and portfolio pages, with every photo taken in a portrait aspect ratio. This problem is made more apparent when I insert a gallery into a page. Unfortunately I will be away for a couple of days and only have private galleries on the site at the moment. I can post a new one when I get back.

What I don't get is that within the viewer itself the thumbnails are correctly cropped, it's only on filmstrips and gallery enter pages they are completely messed up (they just resize the photo's full dimensions instead of cropping).

please take a look and tell me what you think,

Filipe

@macfilipe

The pretyphoto images should be holding the proper ratio can you post a link to your site so I can take a deeper look?

I second the question. I'm having a really hard time with correct aspect ratio on thumbnails and can't find an answer either here or on PrettyPhoto's documentation.

Other than this thing doing my nut in, great template.

Thanks,

Filipe

Hi,

Firstly thank you so much for making this template, it's exactly what I needed for my portfolio!

I was wondering if it's possible for the thumbnail images to retain their aspect ratio? So they aren't squeezed to fit the thumbnail size? Or how could I replace the thumbnail with a cropped version that could link and use the highres version of the image?

Thanks
-C
