slideshow intro image size

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hi,

I am trying to choose stockimages to use in the slideshow for the New Lifestyle template. Can you help me work out the optimal size/dimensions to fit? It seems it cuts off the image top and bottom but I can't work out the best size to use to get the image showing as I would like. So far the best I have come up with is to create a white space above and below the image and make the image a large rectangular shape, this then seems to centre the image the best.

I haven't really got a link for you as I'm very much at experimental stage.

Thanks,

Liz

Hi Liz,

I'm afraid its a little bit of trial and error and some images work better than others

The subject matter is a factor with more abstract images tending to work better.

Cheers
Paul

Thanks Paul. I thought that might be the answer. I'll keep plugging away. When I get the image size correct it looks great!

Cheers,


Liz
