Yes - Wordpress generates set sizes of all images on upload. I can set these defaults if you have a particular size in mind?
Can you point to an example of these errant sizes? Thanks.
Lightbox image capped.
On the product page before you go to light box view can we have the image fit to the window and be fully visable? Some images are wide and so the edges get chopped off. Some images are really long and get stretched. I'll send links and screen grabs

see how the lightbox image shows more widt h than the initial page view?
but then we have the problem of a page like this where the image islong and thin. Any suggestions welcome

The problem is with the variation in sizes of the source images. There isn't really one catch-all setting that's going to handle every case ideally, given the range in dimensions.
The thumbnail setting is using 'hard crop', which results in what you see in that page. I've tried disabling it, too see if the results are better, but this involves regenerating all images, which at ~1600 images, is time-consuming. There is a plugin that does it automatically, but I need to keep a page open while it does this, and averages about 2 seconds per image. So that's about an hourish. If it doesn't work out, I could change the standard image size to something more square, which might make some cases (such as the above) look better.
That's the thumbnail regen process complete, and the X-Last Bollard image displays correctly. That's not to say that other images will be okay - will need to check throughout the products to see how they are affected.
Hi Sam, can you advise if its possible to automatically constrain the image size of pictures? Clint's uploaded some really large ones and they look odd. I could show him how to resize them in photoshop but it would be easier if Wordpress can automate this? Perhaps there's a widget?
So two things -
• the size of image that shows up in the individual product page gets cropped if its too large. Can the image be scaled to fit the box?
• also can the enlarged lightbox picture be capped at either 700 pixels wide or high?
Let me know your thoughts?
