Images look distorted/fuzzy/squished

Hi

My images at https://www.techshop.dk/shop/ dosentl look very nice
It is mostly the product cases for example http://www.techshop.dk/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65
If you see the large version they look nice

I have red http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/faq.php?s=&do=search&q=resize&match=all&titlesonly=0 and tried to set one of them to 0 but that dosent seem to help (height is 0 on all pictures)

I have also tried to write a size in both height and width and turn on Image - Use Proportional Images on Products and Categories, but that dosent work either.

What can I do and what am I doing wrong?

I have uploaded a file with the image settings

Please help me

Thanks

Best Regards
Kim

Re: Images look distorted/fuzzy/squished

you have another problem too - your images need optimizing -

I suggest downloading the imagehandler contribution - this will automatically do the optimizing for you (the 23KB image will go to less than 5KB and look good) - also adds very nice image hover popup so that larger image appears. very nice and professional

Image handler also might solve your distortion problems - it has another option where you can set a background so that odd sized images become uniform - this will line up your captions etc

IH is available in the downloads section or at https://www.breakmyzencart.com

good luck

Re: Images look distorted/fuzzy/squished

But how to solve the first problem?

It seems that Zencart make wrong propersisions when it makes the picture smaller. If I set both hight and width to 0, then the picture should stay as I uploaded it i guess, but then it have all wrong propersisions

Re: Images look distorted/fuzzy/squished

the image you attached was fuzzy but doesn't it show proportional images set to 0?
zero as in off, not Oh as in on
reset to 1
but if you did that already...I don't know..

Re: Images look distorted/fuzzy/squished

I also have problems with distortion. The distortion is more obvious on a pc than on a mac - i don't know why.

I have followed the instructions i found throughout the site...

I am using jpegs for top quality....

The images are square. 200 x 200, etc. At first - The exact image sizes were entered in the images admin panels, and calculate image size was turned on.

Huge distortion problems have occured.

So I followed the instructions in other posts to set the height to 0 and make sure calculation is still on.

Now the distortion has increased, and has reached a new level of 'bad'.
