You can batch resize with a free program like Mihov Image Resizer.
Here is an excellent tutorial https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=224

I understand exactly what you are saying. The reason why I am confused is because the image is already 166x120px. Download it and see for yourself. I understand the "Image Size" would be the problem, but this is a tiny image?!

Thanks.

Yes, that's weird, all right. When I downloaded Bathed in Morning Light, it was 578k, but 166x120 px at 300 ppi. I opened it in Photoshop and it said it was about a 78k document; changed it from CMYK to RGB (better for web anyway) and it went down to 58k. When I saved it for web, at absolute maximum quality, it was 17.8k.

Maybe your Photoshop CS4 included a mess of additional information with the image? I have Photoshop 7...

You still have a serious "file size" issue with your images. They are way to big and is slowing your site down.
I sent you a pm.
The Curious Nature one is not the right size and is being re sized. My above post has a tutorial with some great information and is relatively easy to do.

Re sizing the way you are doing it is like saying a pound of lead weighs more then a pound of feathers. A large image is a large image regardless of the physical appearance.

image Bathed in Morning Light.jpg you might have a problem with. It';s not re sizing properly. I was able to re size Bathed%20in%20Morning%20Light_MED.jpg so it would just need to be renamed. The size is 4.44 KB.

I sent you 3 images to try.

Thank you, I will check it all out tomorrow. It is currently 1:45am here, gonna head to sleep. Once again, thank you.

Upon right-clicking and then selecting View Image_Info for each of your

Bathed In Morning Light,
Copper Cascade and
Curious Nature images,

I notice the dimensions are given as 0px × 0px (scaled to ###px × ###px).

To me this indicates the image files are corrupt. I would redo saving the images as thumbnails, replacing same in zencart images folder and then redoing the reference to same in your admin/catalogue.

Cheers

Essential, at least for iE, as it doesn't display images saved as CMYK. They must be saved as RGB.

Ah, that's right, I remember now that I encountered that isue when working on publicity images. My friends couldn't look at the progress copies I sent them until I changed them to RGB, because they all used IE exclusively.
