"Image Orientation"

Hi,

I am having difficulty getting 'Portrait' oriented images to appear correctly on my gallery pages. I'm uploading at 900 x 600 px and the 'landscape' images are OK but The portrait images are being stretched to fit landscape.

Any Ideas?

Hi NKPix

I assume that you are using InstantPro? Could you tell us where your website is so that we may have a look at the problem?

Thanks :)

Sorry about that, a URL would help ;-)

I've reduced it to just a few images to simplify things. I've created new pages and various upload sizes but the problem remains the same.

Many Thanks

Hello,

The 2nd image on your test gallery (the portrait one) appears fine for me in Firefox (598px × 900px (scaled to 419px × 601px)).

What browser are you viewing the gallery in and what is your screen resolution?

Now there's a thing! I've just had a quick look on another machine and that is OK also.

I'm running XP Pro with IE7 at 1280 x 1024. It's a new rebuild with all the updates etc.

The other machine is also IE7 with the same screen res. but it is a Win2k3 server. This is WIERD! Time for a restart I think and I'll get back.


Thanks

Nope!

The restart didn't change anything. The image was uploaded at 900 x 600 (Portrait) and on my monior it is resized to 840 x 558 (landscape).

Is there any way I can get a screen shot on here?

Thanks

It resizes to 468 x 765 for me at the resolution. Please try clearing your browser cache by going to Tools > Internet Options > Under Browsing History click 'Delete' > Click 'Delete Files' next the Temporary Files in Internet Explorer and then refreshing your web site.
Do you have any toolbars installed such as Google toolbar?

It looks fine for me using IE7 1280X1024 - Nice photos! :¬)

Try clearing your browser cache (temp internet files) - I've seen the lightbox script get 'confused' in the past!

... Add the image to a page on your site!

EDIT: Too slow, Eccles beat me! I was carrying out my 'moderator' role over on the Internet forum though!

OK!

Now I'm at home on my own XP machine with much the same setup and I'm still getting the same problem.

I run a pretty tidy browser anyway but I have just cleared out the cache etc with no change. I have no toolbars either. I'm going to look at firefox later to try and pin it down to IE7 if I can - although I thought Microsoft had managed to tame the beast by now.

Glad you like the Pics :-) There's a lot more to come but I need to sort this first - especially since the majority of visitors, I guess, will be using IE of some description.

Hi,

I've just added a screen shot of the IE7 error to my site.

I loaded up Firefox last night and, as you say, the problem doesn't happen.

Interestingly my wifes PC also running IE7 doesn't have the problem either - so whatever it is it is fairly random.

Any ideas please?
