Hi, how do I override image sizes to stretch them out?

Hi, please could you take a quick look at:
http://www.giftbasketsplus.com/food-gift-baskets/candy-gift-baskets

I have set the image size in the admin section to be 200px by 200px but some of the images dont stretch out to this size. is there a way that I can override this and make all images stretch to this size?

many thanks!

Re: Hi, how do I override image sizes to stretch them out?

The simplest answer is to start with images larger than 200 x 200. You would really not like what you saw if you took a 100x100 to 200x200.:shocking:

You might want to look at image handler as well but, again, it doesn't make files bigger than they are.

im pretty sure the image sizes are above 200by200, do you know why it is altering the size of them still?

many thanks

Re: Hi, how do I override image sizes to stretch them out?

a quick glance and your images are way over 200x200.

try this http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=117

it works well for not making the thumbs look like crap and resizes the thumbs to an appropriate size, but it will not square the images for that you would need to upload a square image be it 1000x1000 or 200x 200
