Just installed quickstart for “Lens”…the images included in “demo” have dimensions shown, but these dimensions don’t work very well.

In the slideshow that is menu driven, the images included in the quickstart demo were 1600×1063…however images that i use at that size are re-sized by the template, then cropped very strangely…

What is wrong here? Doesn’t seem like this template is ready for prime time…take a look here:

Tell me how to configure my images correctly for the slideshow display…

Hi mneese,

I just took a look at the url http://buckle.douglasmagnus.com/slideshow and I saw those images at the slideshow were displayed at their original sizes, Could you explain more details if the problem still there ?

well, the problem is the images are cropped! what are the proportions and/or sizing for proper cropping and display? The demo content has a watermark showing the images sized at 1600px x various heights,,,this does not work as you can see!
What are the correct size for display?

Hi mneese,

I think the size of 1600 * 989 is proper, Now I am seeing that your site is offline.

Compromise! My best solution was to crop images to 1600 x 1000 (an average) and to centre on to the portion of the picture you want to display. I have 2 monitors of different ratio settings so that I could compare the difference. For the module, main height and width I’ve set at a 2:1 ratio, e.g. 1600 x 800px. Not perfect but probably the best you will get.

Chrome and FF good, nice:)…IE9 ‘friggin’ joke! What’s going on at MS?>:(

D’oh! Got a better idea. Just add a border in Photoshop to get the whole picture/photo. Simple! :laugh:
