    Default Landscape Images Squashed

    My landscape images keep having that squashed look on my front product page. I have tried resizing the images before adding them to Zen Cart and no matter how small i reduce them they either loose the resolution or just are too big!

    My Portrait images are just fine, so has anyone any ideas on how i can take this please as its so frustrating?


    thank you

    Can anyone help me with this please? Here is my site address: http://value-plus.co.uk
    Look at the Converse and Adio shoe images as they are all squashed as they are landscape. My portrait images for other products are fine its the landscape that are causing the issues. I need to sort this before i can continue with the rest of the site........can anyone make any suggestions please?

    i would have a look at your css... specifically this
    Code:
    .homepage_productbox .product_image a img{
        width: 121px;
        height: 140px;
        margin-left: 15px;
    }
    which is setting the height/width for the images. Also the settings for calculating the image size might need adjusting.
    Hope this helps

    that makes sense but i have no idea how to access what you suggested, i asked the designer that did it for me and he says the settings are correct it the images i am using. I have tried reducing them but no matter what size i make them they still are squashed.

    You need to edit the includes/templates/sporting/css/stylesheet.css file to change the rule that David Allen referred to.

    Under Admin > Configuration > Images, I fixed the height of certain image classes (eg 80px) and deleted the setting for image width (eg nothing at all). This will make all images conform to the specified height.

    However, for those images that are especially long but low (eg stretched landscape), I will standardise those images to 120px wide by 80px high, usually by creating a proforma at this size and fitting the image central to the proforma, and then save image and proforma together for upload to store.

    Hope this helps.
