[quote="cln"]Can you tell me what you did to fix your image problem.  All of my large images are different sizes so the small images are being distorted.
  
1.  If I resize them all in photoshop what should I resize them to?  
2.  In the admin what do I set the small image width and height to?  
3.  Do I set "Calculate image size" to true or false?

Please let me know the best way to go about fixing my images.
Thanks,

Charity,

1. You may resize the images to any size you want in Photoshop depending on how much product detail you want to show your customers. 

2. In the admin (mine), I set the Small Images Width to 50 and let the Smal Images Height Blank

3. Calculate image size should be set to True.

Steps 2 and 3 will fix your image distortion problem.  The problem is that yous images will display to scale but in whatever size you specified in item 1 above.

In order to fix this problem, you will need either one of this contributions:
