All settings can be found under Settings &gt; Media - the only option which might help you is "Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)". </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/landscape-or-portrait-thumbnails-but-not-both#post-9053 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 05:00:03 +0000 note4shawn 9053@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Here is an example. On this portfolio page I manually cropped the landscape image in the center and assigned it as the thumbnail. I hope that I do not have to go to the trouble of doing this for all my landscape images. It is very time consuming. It would be great if I could have the portfolio pages auto crop the center as I did. </p> <p>Also notice how I cropped it. I have the 4 column portfolio page set to portrait for testing. I will most likely set all to portrait. My test image is 600wx400h landscape. I have the portrait size set to 190wx285h which is a 2/3 format. I cropped out the vertical center of the image to 267wx400h keeping the height the same as the original image (400px). This is how I am hoping it can be done. </p> <p><a href="http://4deucephotography.com/?page_id=23" rel="nofollow">http://4deucephotography.com/?page_id=23</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/landscape-or-portrait-thumbnails-but-not-both#post-9044 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 19:12:50 +0000 note4shawn 9044@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>OK. Then can I make it take a crop of the center (it does not squich and distort the image to fit) of the image like on the slider preview images on the front page? I would rather it show a portion of the actual image (not distorted) rather than a squished/distorted view of the entire image. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/landscape-or-portrait-thumbnails-but-not-both#post-9026 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 07:53:35 +0000 Dude 9026@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I'm sorry - it's currently not possible to use images with different aspect ratios. The problem was discussed in this thread: <a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/portfolio-item-thumbnail-stretched-cropped" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/portfolio-item-thumbnail-stretched-cropped</a> </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/landscape-or-portrait-thumbnails-but-not-both#post-9009 Wed, 17 Nov 2010 02:22:47 +0000 note4shawn 9009@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I have searched and searched but have not come up with an answer. I am wanting to showcase my photography on my Avisio site. It is advertised as a photography/portfolio blog. The problem is that the thumb on the portfolio pages are set to landscape only so it either crops or stretches/distorts the portrait images. I have gone in and changed the coding in functions to show portrait but now the landscape images are distorted. There has to be a way for the portfolio pages to show a thumb of the original in the correct aspect ratio. Once you click on the the image or the Read More button the image is shown in the correct aspect ratio. </p> <p>Can someone please help figure out how to fix this?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
