Image within a Box - but image stretched

[marblemsn]

Hello,

 

I was using Prestashop 1.3 some time ago, with a load of photos that varied in size. However, Prestashop resized the photos where there was a white box on the left and right of the image. It was coloured black so that it made it look better.

 

I am now using Prestashop 1.4. I had the same images transfered over. I have imported more images. I have uploaded an image, and there is no black block to the left or right as can be seen in the other categories of products.

 

I have created a TEST range of products. when you click on this link - www.rajastones.co.uk/product.php?id_product=225            , the black rectangles are gone. However when you click on the turquiose 'View' box, the image is stretched. What is going on here?

 

I am fearful of regenerating thumbnails etc - as I am not a programmer.

 

Any help would be appreciated - thanks

hello

 

your images have got this border because your image size for big pictures is 600px 600px

and you uploaded thin picture - It is thin, with huge height and small width.

You must upload image which is proportional to sizes you've got defined in back office preferences > images

it's a bit old topic (for prestashop 1.3.x and 1.4)

you can try to implement it to your 1.5 engine

Hi,

 

All my images are different sizes. Would the solution (from the other post) resolve the matter/issue?
