addtional images tighen up

i managed to move the addtional images under the main product image...

now my issues is id like to make them actually more under the product image rather than on the line blow i spread out.

Re: addtional images tighen up

What I would do first is to matt all your images to the same proportions. What you have now is a mis-mash of sizes and it looks like a collage and will be next to impossible to organize with all the various sized images

Re: addtional images tighen up

the images are handeled by way of ih2 and their sizes are set by the admin panel. however proportional sizing is on so the images dont look funky.

my understanding, as little as it is, is that they will pull to the set sizes in admin. that is to say if i have a 100x100 block, thats what the sheet pulls even though the image may be 85x100 when its resized...

is this not right? if its not, then i will ditch ih2 and go about the long process of resizing the images myself. :(

what i want to do is move the addtional images closer to the lt side UNDER the main product image, rather than just under the product image in what looks like more of a centered line up on that line.

Re: addtional images tighen up

I would not ditch ih2 too quickly...

On the page that you have linked there are at least these images sizes

126x200
200x56
200x132

What I was referring to or recommending is that say for the 200x56 that you create a transparent matt at 200x200 and place the image into this matt & save.

This way the actual placed size will be 200x200 no matter the actual viible part of the image. And ih2 can handle the like sized matted images.

What either of the methods do is a best-fit and not an arbitrary strecth-to-fit that would distort the image.

Re: addtional images tighen up

okay.

so then how do i go about moving the images UNDER the main product image, rather than just under the product image in what looks like more of a centered line up on that line.

i did manage to move the images UP, but i need to move them OVER and i dont see how or where to do that.
