Chopped off heads?

Chopped off heads?

I've noticed on some pics, the heads or top of the pics are chopped off. If you look at the thumbnail you see the top of the head, but when it shows the big pic (in Dissolve Slide Show) the head is cut off.

I've attached a file with what the slidshow thumbnail is and what the larger pic is. PG has clearly created a larger pic in which it's cropped the head off.

I can remake the galleries, but I need to know how to avoid it happening again.

Thanks.

power gallery creates some resized images that are cropped and others that are resized proportionally.

see this thread for details:
showpost.php?p=36751&postcount=2

in the gallery index.php file, there is a line similar to:
$gallery = get_gallery(get_mediarss_url('gallery=' . $pg_id . '&thumb=62c&full=782c'));

this is setting it to use the 62c image for the thumbnail and the 782c image for the large one.

you can change that to:
$gallery = get_gallery(get_mediarss_url('gallery=' . $pg_id . '&thumb=62c&full=782p'));

to set it to use the proportional image instead of the cropped image.

Oh that was easy! I thought I'd have to redo them all. Thanks!

My have a similar problem. My large image looks fine but the thumb crops each side.

I though it might be a relative size issue so I resized the tumbs so the large image is 600x450 and the thumbs are 175x131 and changed the code based on what you suggested above to:

//process gallery
$gallery = get_gallery(get_mediarss_url('gallery=' . $pg_id . '&thumb=175p&full=600p'));
?>
.
.
.
.
<div class="thumbs" style="text-align:center;">
<?php if(sizeof($gallery['images']) <= 0) { ?>
<div class="no-images">no images</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php
$random = rand(0, 10000);
for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($gallery['images']); $i++) {
echo '<a href="' . $gallery['images'][$i]['fullsize']['url'] . '" rel="lightbox-pg' . $random . '" name="<strong>' . str_replace('"', '\"', $gallery['images'][$i]['title']) . (strlen($gallery['images'][$i]['title']) > 0 ? ':' : '') . '</strong> ' . str_replace('"', '\"', $gallery['images'][$i]['description']) . '"><img alt="" title="' . $i . '##' . str_replace('"', '\"', $gallery['images'][$i]['title']) . '##' . str_replace('"', '\"', $gallery['images'][$i]['description']) . '" src="' . $gallery['images'][$i]['thumb']['url'] . '" width="175px" height="131px" alt="test" /></a>';
}
?>
</div>



now the thumb wont show at all.

if you go to footware.php you will see what's happening.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,
Kevin.

my recommendation of code change was based on image sizes automatically created by power gallery, power gallery does not create a 175p image by default.

See the following thread for details on adding a custom image size:
