Increase default size of photo in photo gallery

Hi, I noticed that when you upload photos, they all seem to be about the same size when you view them, regardless of the original size.  Is thee anyway to increase this default size to be able to show bigger pictures?

Thanks

Rob

You can do that from your Admin Panel - Settings - Advanced Settings...

Be aware of that only the pictures that will be uploaded after you have made this change will be bigger.

That is for profile photos- not gallery photos- is it done with the same setting?  I'd like to have a smaller profile photo, but allow bigger gallery photos if that is possible.

Thanks

OK, now I have another issue.  I have increased the size of the profile photo to a max of 1024 x 1024 - which I assume also controls the max size for the gallery photos.  Now when I upload a photo it is cropped in the gallery photo view page - and the bigger the size I allow the greater the area that is cropped.  I have seen others with this issue but no solutions.  Does anyone know how to fix?

Thanks

Does anyone have a solution to this cropping issue?  The photos I want to display are in various sizes, but the photo gallery seems to change them to one size.  Now that I have increased the size of the profile photo (in settings) to 1024, it still stays the same size but crops it - as if it has stored a much larger photo but is only showing me about 300 x 300 pixels.   Can this be corrected in CSS?  I'm not that familiar with CSS but found this code in ViewPhoto.css.

div#viewFile
{
background-position: center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width: 340px;
height: 340px;
margin:auto;

Should I change the width and height there?  Suppose I change that to 1024x1024, and the upload a photo that is 500x500 - will it just show the 500x500 - or will it show 1024x1024 and maybe have poorer resolution - or will something else happen?  To put this another way, is there anyway to show pictures of various sizes on the view photo page?

Thanks

If you are using a 960 px width template, better to decrease your max size photo to something like 940 x 940 px... and change your CSS:

div#viewFile
{
background-position: center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width: 940px;
height: 940px;
margin:auto;

... but I don't know what will happen to the photos in the profile page ???

Thanks Michael,

I've been playing around with it and there seems to be no way to disassociate gallery pics from profile pics.  In other words, if you want extra large gallery pics, and normal sized profile pics, you are out of luck.  I'm working on finding a happy medium right now.

Another question you or someone here might know.  This "file info" box for gallery pics has the photo title, but it also has a bunch of other stuff I don't want (url, tags, photo of uploader, etc).  Is there anyway to somehow reference just the title and put it somewhere on that page?   Right above the photo their is a grey bar that says "View File" - the default name for that box.  Would there be a way to put the title in that box? - or anywhere on the page?

Thanks

I found that the perfect setting so far without breaking the layout is:

div#viewFile
{
background-position: center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
width: 400px;
height: 500px;
margin: auto;
}
