Some images are a different size

Hi, I have integrated power gallery into a site I am working on and have resized ribbon_fullsize to fit my design and thought all was going well until I scrolled through the first set of images and clicked on image thumbnail 9 and the main image isn't staying inside the wrapper. Same for image 16, 20, 23 and 28. There are 29 images loaded at the moment and all the others are ok. I've reloaded using watermark but still no good. I've even uploaded image 16 and called it test (image 30) since I did all the layout changes in case that was it but still no luck and so it seems to be something specific to those images but I can't figure it out. I'm sure I'm just being dim but I really could do with a pointer in the right direction as I am not getting anywhere now! The site is loaded on homepage.php. Thanks.

the gallery is set to use the 782px wide proportional images, his is larger than the available size.


see this thread for details on using different size images:

Thanks but I don't understand how that answers my problem. I had already read the thread you pointed me to but still don't understand why some images are the right size and others are not? If I am using the standard '&thumb=62c&full=782p' in index.php why do I need to alter the properties.php file? Sorry I think I must be missing the point. It's the fact that most are ok but four are not which I can't get. Thanks

Hi mds,

The fact that some of the images are the right size appears to be pure luck, as the originals of those images are proportined width:height = 8:6.

The div that contains your images is 640px wide by 500px high (with padding 10px) which means that the maximum width image it will currently accept is 620px, and maximum height will be 480px, so using the 782p setting will cause you problems when the width:height ratio is (>8):6.

Your gallery is set up to fit the images proportionally (as opposed to cropping them), so it appears that it is fitting the images first by height, and then adjusting the width to be proportional to that. It is coincidental (I believe) that for most of the images, when the width is adjusted to be proportional to the height, that the height:width ratio happens to be appropriate for the space provided.

If you look at image #6 in the sequence (Flower border) you will see the correct height again, but in this case proportioning the image makes it narrower than the others.

Your choice is to either follow Jason's advice above (adding 620px width as an option), or manually adjusting the height:width ratio (to 8:6) of the original (too wide) images before uploading them.

Edit: PS - nice design work on the site!

Thank you so much for your help! It now works fine.

glad to hear that it is working.
