Hi’
I’m doing a site for a kid – its gonna be a present when he get baptised… so though JA Antares is a good template for the purpose, the pictures in the JA Header module perhaps are a bit too mature…

My problems are two-fold:
Firste the header needs pictures with an width of 1000 pixels and a height of 200 pixels – so far so good… but when the motive has to have space to the left and the right in order to fit into both the narrow and widescreen edition it gets tricky…

When I try to crop my own pics the miss most of the motive in order to get the perspective right!

So does anyone have a tip as how to scale pic to fit…

And secon: Does anyone have any suggestions as to where it would be possible to download pic – eg. of toys – in the widescreen fashion that is needed…

Thanks for any good advice…

Claus

Sorry if I wasn’t absolutely clear on that one… What I meant was: Do you know if it is possible to download some sort of module that would be able to scale a pic so it would fit the size of the JA Header…

If you have your pics that were taken with your normal digital camera they would meassur eg. 2500 times 1200 pixels… How to get this picture down-scaled to fit the requirements of the JA Header module…

That was the question, I guess..

I will take a look at the link you sent

Thanks

Hi
What you would need to do is scale the image to the desired width in Photoshop, then crop the height to the size you need, or crop out the portion of the image you want to use to the desired size. I don’t know of any modules that will do this automatically.

If you don’t have photoshop, you can download The Gimp for free.
Gotta love Open Source. 🙂
