Photos are distorted

  • I am just starting my blog and the photos are showing up extra vertical, but only one 1 computer and my android phone. What is happening is the length across is OK, but the the photo is stretched out vertically and is distorted.

    It is actually different on every computer. On one computer the photos are proportionate but the photos are huge and on another again they proportionate but normal size. I don’t get what I can do.

    Thanks for any help

  • I’m not a pro nor expert, so these are opinions.

    It seems your photos are sized VERY large: width=”1024″ height=”768″

    So the photos are displaying 768px vertically, but the parent div prevents the photos from expanding horizontally (Which would create even bigger problems if your photos displayed at full resolution on the front page!)

    What if you shrunk the photos according to their sizing ratios? Some simple math … *brainstrain* … the ratio would be width=”450″ height=”337″.

    That way the photos would appear un-squished, though their would be a lot smaller. That’s easy because all you’d have to do is A HREF them with target=”_blank” so they could appear larger in a new window if your viewers clicked on them!

    Woohoo! I think.

    EDIT: Child with KISS shirt = awesome!

    I think it’s because your post area has a maximum width of 450px, and your images are being displayed within the confines of that space. Although you have re-sized the image for your post to large (1024×768 in this case, original photo is 3664px x 2748px) it’s being scaled to 450px x 768px in your post. I think that is why you are seeing an odd aspect ratio.

    well I made it 300 X 225 (added a photo below the larger ones) by using the insert photo from media library and choosing the small size.

    It came out ok on the computer that was showing them extra long, but I guess the question is why do other computers show up ok, but not this one? Also I was looking to use larger photos in case anyone wanted to download the photo so they would get a decent resolution version.

    Thanks for your help.

    One my one computer where the photos are extra large but proportionate it cuts over the width of the blog and the right handed info of archives, etc show up below.

    Ok going back to the post area, I changed the theme to WordPress Classis and all is working. Still is weird that it was different on each computer. I have not really gotten into themes yet as I have been learning the posting procedures, etc.

    Thanks for all help.

    Most likely due to a difference in browsers or browser versions displaying the content in spite of the fact that it exceeds the size of the div it’s in. IE8 and FF 3.5 displays it within the 450px constraints, but in a distorted aspect ratio. If it overlaps the sidebar content, it is not being displayed correctly. Just differently.
