  How can I adjust my image settings on the Gigawatt theme so that my photos appear larger in my theme? Vertical photos are nice and large, but horizontal photos are quite small. Please have a look at the link to see an example. http://loveandlentils.com/2014/02/22/banana-nut-crumb-muffins/
  Thanks!

  Hi Sophia!

  So, looking at the post, I see that because of the width of the post section is 560 px, so all of your horizontal images can be that width at the maximum. However, we can increase the width of the main content and widen the width of your posts. Just note this will not perfectly align your images as they were before via editing the CSS.

  Try adding this to the top of your CSS editor:

  div#page {
  	width: 1200px;
  }
  
  header#masthead {
  	margin-left: 0;
  	margin-right: 0;
  	width: 1200px;
  }
  
  #header-image {
         position: absolute;
         top: 0px;
         left: 135px;
  }
  
  div#main {
  	width: 1200px;
  }
  
  div#content {
  	max-width: 800px;
  }

  So what will happen is the max width of your horizontal images will be shown, but it won’t be aligned like this:

  This worked perfectly! Thank you so much for your help. Is there a way to resize all my photos to 130% without going in to each one and editing it?
  Thanks again

  Hi Sophia,

  Ah. Unfortunately, that can only be changed by going to each one. = Sorry for the inconvenience, but there wouldn’t be a way to automate that.
