Gallery is resizing my images (larger than their actual size)

Gallery is resizing my images (larger than their actual size)

I am using version 1.

I have all of my images set to 600 pixels wide (I have a particular reason I need them this size) and no matter what I do, after uploading them to the gallery, they are displaying when enlarge at 941 pixels.

Here is an example: index.php?gallery=10&theme=light

I do have one other gallery created that is acting perfectly normal: index.php?gallery=3&theme=light

For some reason, no matter what I do, the gallery is resizing my images to a larger size. Even the regular image that is not enlarged is displaying bigger.

I have tried deleting the galleries (I am having the same issue with 3 galleries, only 1 of 4 is acting normal), and recreating them, with different names even, but nothing seems to work. My client is getting a little worried, maybe irritated is a better word. I need to get this fixed. I don't know why it is doing this.

I would really appreciate any help. Actually, I'm begging!

Thanks in advance!

I saw another post I thought might help me.

In the gallery style I set for this gallery in the index file, I change this line:

$gallery = get_gallery(get_mediarss_url('gallery=' . $pg_id . '&thumb=62c&full=782p&super=1024p'));

To this line:

$gallery = get_gallery(get_mediarss_url('gallery=' . $pg_id . '&thumb=62c&full=600p&super=339p'));

What that did was gave me an eternally loading screen, and the images never loaded.

So that is the first thing I have tried.

Help???

see this thread for details on creating custom image sizes in power gallery 1:
showthread.php?t=8844

the image size needs to be defined in the properties file before it can be used in the gallery file.

Jason,

Thanks for the reply. That's the one I already tried (as I stated in my first reply to my own post, LOL!), and it didn't work. Unless, I did it incorrectly (which is ENTIRELY possible)?

Would you be willing to show me how to do it so that the "enlarged" images are 600 pixels wide? The height is going to vary because my client is cropping them and they will not always be the same, but I need for the "enlarged" images to always be 600 pixels wide. Could you show me how to do that in the admin/common/properties.php file as well as the index file for the gallery style chosen?

You'd be doing me a HUGE favor, and I would be eternally grateful!

in your code:
$gallery = get_gallery(get_mediarss_url('gallery=' . $pg_id . '&thumb=62c&full=600p&super=339p'));


you are adding 2 new file sizes, 600p and 339p. these would need to need to be added to the proportional array:


php:
$GLOBALS['resize_proportional'] = array( 

    array('w' => 1024, 'h' => 768, 'watermark' => true), 
    array('w' => 600, 'h' => 600, 'watermark' => true), 
    array('w' => 339, 'h' => 339, 'watermark' => true), 
    array('w' => 782, 'h' => 481, 'watermark' => true), 
    array('w' => 163, 'h' => 92)
);




then you would need to edit the watermark in the gallery to have the images regenerated.

Thanks! Edit what watermark? I don't have a watermark. I'm confused on that part.

in the gallery admin, go to the settings and set a water mark, this will force the gallery to regenerate the images.

you can remove it after it has been applied.

Hmm, Ok I will try that. Thank you Jason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Jason, one more quick question. I had the 339 in there because it was the height of an image and I didn't know what else to put in there. If I just want ALL images to be 600 wide and whatever they turn out to be when cropped by my client, would I need all of that? And I wouldn't need the 339 one right? Thanks again. You're a life saver.
