I only want the 1 picture per item...the thumbnail and be small as long as they can click it and see it normal size. everything I have tried is fat and chubby..and very blurry.


    Thank you so much

    Have you tried Image Handler 2? I use it on the Holzheimer site in my sig. It's a free download from the Free Software Add Ons section.

    Fairly simple. You create ONE size image for the item (large). IH2 handles creating the thumbnail and medium on the fly. It will also watermark the images automatically for you (you create the watermark image). I suggested you check the Holzheimer site because she sells photos.

    There are instructions included with IH2. You will have new settings in admin>configuration>images to control the behavior of IH2.

    Edit: check this thread as well: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=178972 A new version! I'm not familar with IH3.

    yu probably need to resize the large image to 300wide and 500 high, Ifranview will do that for you, then u need to resharpen the image and upload it to your image folder in your store. Now remember there is a image folder there and inside the image folder there is a large folder also. so the
    150x250 image goes into the image folder. Name that for instance 1234.jpg
    the 300x500 you put in the Large folder
    for the large to blow up when clicked on thru the store make that 300x500 pic and list it as 1234_LRG.jpg and it will work. I will respond thru ur thread so others can read the post too but feel free to cantact me thru here if u wish but is should be done on the forum so others may read and help them too.
    david
