    Hello,

    I have an existing portfolio grid gallery setup to show the images in a standard view (cropped too) then when clicked on to show the full image.

    I have just added a new image however this image is showing larger than the other images in the view which then throws out the presentation for the other two images in the row.

    I have tried deleting the image and a different size, removing the portfolio entry and even changing the the portfolio grid size.

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
    John

    Hey John,

    These images have different aspect ratios and so they scale differently, you need to have images of the same size.

    Hi Victoria,

    Thank you for the reply.

    Yes I agree that the images are of different sizes and images will always be of different sizes as the client would be uploading different ones form differnet on a regular basis.

    Presently all but one, the newest one added, is being displayed in the same format. If the image size was an isuue we would see quite a few of the boxes out all over the place on the gallery view. I thought the purpose of the gallery was to show all the images in a standard gallery dimension, as selected, and then once clicked would get the full size.

    Select custom image size
    Choose image size for Portfolio Grid Images
    (Note: Images will be scaled to fit for the amount of columns chosen above)

    It seems counter productive to ensure your images are always ‘x’ pixel size for this purpose when uploading when the gallery settings should take care of this.

    Am I missing soemthing?
    Cheers

    Just a quick update, I have found a setting that works which is ‘portfolio 495×400’

    However my comment before I think is still valid. The images should be scaled to fit regardless of the image size.

    Thanks

    Hi John,

    It is possible to make images the same size by means of cropping them, but cropping might remove the parts of the image that users want to show. And so you get more control over images when you carefully prepare them in terms of size and quality.
