Image distortion - help requested

Postby heirlooms » Fri Jun 04, 2010 6:55 pm

We are using More Info Pages to create a mouse over display of additional product pictures.

The image distortion comes up when the More Info picture (called in a product field) is larger than the main product picture. This causes the compression (distortion) of the image.

I re-loaded the pictures (and resized them keeping the aspect ratio constant) but that did not solve the distortion of the mouse over pictures.

Please see examples of the product picture distortion in these two cases:

What change to the template (or any other change) would you recommend?

Thank you.

Keep your original images the same size then when they are resized they will be proportional.

http://69.94.108.191/media/OSP/OS-TV0648FWA.jpg is 500px × 341px
http://69.94.108.191/media/OSP/OS-TV0648FWA_Props.jpg is 372px × 500px

Since one is 500 px tall and the other is 500 px wide when you try to cram them into a box some squishing is going to happen.
