Windows Explorer issues?!

Load a copy of the image into Photoshop and reduce its "Image Size" to the pixel dimensions you want it to display at (in this case, something like 166x200 px).

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

The pixel dimensions of the image are the first critical factor. Load a copy of the image into Photoshop and reduce its "Image Size" to the pixel dimensions you want it to display at (in this case, something like 166x200 px). Then save for web at whatever quality you need.

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.

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.

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.
