Image sizes seem to ignore settings in Image Object

Hi, here is a screenshot of an image configuration that shows me selecting a height of 520px to match a map object which is set to this height.
While the map height on the screen is actually 650px, the red dress image is even more.

I find this to be a common occurrence, the image settings seem to have zero effect on the screen size, and I have to then scale the original image to get some control over it. This should not be necessary.

Can you shed some light on this for me please.

Cheers
Mark

Oh, this thing doesn't cope with even a small image added.
So, I have the Image | Size setting set to Large (1024px), and the Image | Height set to 520px, but the latter has no effect. I have checked the caches are cleared.

    Hello,
    If your source(original) image size is let's say 600px wide and 400px height and you set the option to display it 1200px wide and 800px height, then it will not do anything.
    Our script is made to not to cross the original size of images, you have to upload bigger images.

    Thanks

    Pablo,
    The library image has a height of 1280 pixels, I want it to display to say 600.

    What should I set the Image | Size, and Image | Height to?

    I find that the Image | Height has no effect. The image is displayed strictly in according to the three options under Image | Size.
  • PabloPablo
    If you are using the "Image Width" and "Image Height" values, your "Image Size" have to be set to "Full Size".
    I used the FHD image and resized it to 600x450 and it works fine.

    Thanks

    Thanks Pablo.

    Can I suggest that's daft for the following reasons:

    1. If you need to set it to Full Size to use the dimensions, it should say so.
    2. To preserve the aspect ratio, I should not have to find the original dimensions, then calculate both the height and the width, then manually enter them both. I expect that if I select a height of 500, it will automatically preserve the aspect ratio (as a default) and do the calculation for me. If I WANT to disrupt that, then I could enter both a height and a width.
  • PabloPablo
    These provided values (height and width) are calculated as you said, our system does not want to interrupt the aspect ratio, so it search the most similar resolution to the one you provided - it is hard-coded in the theme and it cannot be controlled at all.

    If you would like to break it, you have to provide your image in <img> tag inside the column item with css width and height values.
    Try to create the code similar to this:

    Thanks

    OK, that's understood better, thanks Pablo.

    I still think the need to select 'Full Size' should be documented on the development page!

    Cheers

    We are working about new documentation, we'll surely include it ;)

    Pablo,
    I have found on another site that the problem of image sizing does not behave as expected.
    I have set the option to Full Size, then the height to 300, and it displays at around full size of 630px, ignoring the height. When I then select the Size to the 300 x 300 option, it DOES then resize to 300.
    I have tried various other combinations, some work, some do not.

    I will send credentials separately.

    Did you use the "Thumbnail Regeneration" plugin? If not, please do it.
    The second problem is, that image could not be resized, what I mean is the aspect ratio again.

    Did you send the login credentials?
    Thanks

    Yes I did, including the name of this topic and it came from my email address, but theyve written back asking for a link to this article to be sent.
    I would not have thought it was so hard to match the two???

    I have run the Regenerate function on the image of relevance and the only change is that the image captions are now displayed correctly.

    This process needs an easier method of uploading images. To have to upload a screenshot to a file server, then give you a link to that is much more onerous than it should be.
    This box should be able to accommodate them as pastes, or at least have a File Upload option, not just the Insert Image option which requires the file to be served first as I've described.

    About the issue:
    I see that you still do not understand.
    Your original image size is: 1200x630 - http://prntscr.com/qcyw5l

    If you will set it to pre-builded sizes (even full size) it will be set to the most similar image size and keep the aspect ratio, so if you set 200 height (but ratio wouldn't be possible) then it's getting bigger (minimal) value which image will not be distorted.

    Also, the width of image (and height) depends on the space that they have, you put them in 1/2 wraps which means they can fill only 50% of the screen - so even if you set full size, then it will be decreased (but it will keep the aspect radio) and it will use the original image to not lose the quality of image - http://prntscr.com/qcyzix 

    Remember that if you will set the height and width which is bigger than original image size, then it will keep the original image size, it will not cross that value.

    So, I set the 1/1 image with "Full Size" and it works fine.
    Few pixels are missing because of page grid, but it's working well.

    About the uploading images:
    We are currently working about new documentation and new customer support forum - new way of uploading images will be included there too.

    Thanks

    Alright, I'll play around on that basis until I figure it out. I'm reassured there is nothing wrong.

    However, in my world, 200 pixels is 200 pixels. It seems like the wrap size changes this. That is not intuitive, and again, should be included as documentation within the application to say 'Note - sizes you enter here are scaled depending upon wrap size, they are not absolute'.

    Thrilled that the form will be updated.

    Have  safe and happy Christmas.
