PICTURES DISTORTED IN PHOTO SLIDESHOW

[gwpriester]

Kate - The images on your link appear fine to me. Try pressing F5 or Ctrl + F5 in your browser.

Xara will replace the image using the maximum height or width of the replacement photo depending on the aspect ratio of the photo.

In my attached example, the photo loaded to the height of the photo but is not wide enough to fill the frame.

To scale the photo up or down, select the Photo with the Photo Tool (F5) then click on the small box at the end of the fill path arrow.

Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to make the image larger or smaller. It depends on the image so try the up arrow first, if that does not increase the size then try the right arrow. Do this until you scale the image to fill the frame.

You can select the center where the fill path arrows come together to reposition the image. You can drag the center control point or move it with the arrow keys.

That said, the slide show is taking a long time to load and I have pretty fast cable access. I wonder what is happening. It might be better to un-check Retina (hi res) images (Website Properties > Website) This will export your slide show images at 96dpi and not 192dpi and 96dpi and might speed up the slide show loading.

Thanks I'll try your suggestion right now. As far as loading, it's taking longer because YAHOO has it hosted as a "test" so they tell me images will take longer.

I go into the widget and right click on the photo and select replace photo. I revised the test site to show how the photo show looks and the pictures are not distorted but I need to remove the numbers in the top right and the bottom where it says heading.

Since I know nothing about web sites, will this romove the heading and footing numbers?

Nope, it will only resize the photos. I'll ask Acorn to respond as he usually has a fix for this kind of thing.

You can add

<style>
.cyclemeb_3_paging, .slideshow_box {
  display: none;
  }
</style>

to the Page HTML code (head).
