Slide Show Problem of Modularity Lite
-
I want the slide show option for my blog and i have enabled it as well. But the problem is all my photos are more than 950 pixels by 425 Pixels and the slide show crops the picture. I want my full picture to be there.
I want to knot if there is any way we could choose photos for slideshow.
If the slide show will show photos from my posts then there are more than 92 images in my Library. I cannot change all those 92 images to 950 by 450 pixels.Is there any way to select pictures we want to keep on slideshow? or anyway this problem can be solved?
I checked everywhere but couldn’t find the solution to this particular problem.Thank You!!!!

Your blog URL is http://runningstitches.wordpress.com (no www).
See here:
http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/modularity-lite-100th-theme/You don’t have to change 92 images, you only have to make sure the first image you upload from your computer in each one of your future posts is 950×425.

I wonder why no www? it opens with www as well.
I’ve read http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/06/24/modularity-lite-100th-theme/
But the problem is
1) How many image does this Slideshow Show?
2) I upload high resolution pics so that the picture quality is good and all my photos are in high resolution more than 3000 pixels.
I wanted to select some specific pictures for the slideshow. Is it not possible?
If I add new photos in Media Library without posting on blog will it be shown on slideshow? If yes then I’ll add new photos to media of 950 x 425 pixels. But again I don’t know how many picture it shows on slideshow because there are around 92 images in media library.Sorry if this is disturbing but this is becoming a great head ache for me.
Thank you for your reply :)

“It opens with www as well” because browsers are intelligent enough to ignore it and redirect to the right URL. The URLs of wp.com blogs are like that:
http://yourblogname.wordpress.comAs for your questions, it doesn’t sound like you really read my post.
“How many image does this Slideshow Show?”
As my post says, the ML slideshow pulls the first image you have uploaded to each one of the posts on your blog front. So the number of images the slideshow shows depends on the number of posts per page you’ve set in Settings > Reading as well as on whether you have uploaded images to all the posts on your front or not.“I have enabled the slideshow and it shows cropped images.”
Yes of course, because the ML slideshow displays fixed size images. As my post says, and as I mentioned in my previous reply, the first image you upload from your computer to each post needs to be 950×425 pixels (otherwise it gets cropped to fit the fixed dimensions).“I wanted to select some specific pictures for the slideshow. Is it not possible?”
No, for the reason already mentioned. The ML slideshow is designed to highlight images from your latest posts, not a fixed set of images. If you want the latter, disable the ML slideshow in Appearance > Theme Options, create a new post, upload the images from your computer to that post without inserting them, use the WordPress slideshow in that post, and make the post a sticky.

That’s a big mistake.
a) Images downsized by WP lose quality – see here:
http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2010/01/16/image-quality/
b) All browsers display images at 72.
c) The main column of ML is 600 pixels, and even if you click to view a larger version of the images, most users’ screens are no wider than 1000 or 1200 pixels.
So by uploading huge files you’re not getting better quality, you’re only wasting your storage space and needlessly increasing the loading time of your blog pages. For best quality, you must downsize copies of your images in an image editing application to resolution 72 and maximum width 600, and upload and insert those copies. -
Oh! Dammit
Now I know why my images used to be so dull even if i uploaded beautifully captured pictures. That was because of the resolution. I thought High resolution = High Quality pictures. But I was wrong.
Thanks a lot for that, or else I would have reached to the point of no return.Now I am much clearer on the problem I have on Slideshow.
Thank you for helping me sort out those things.It is 950 X 600 Pixels :)
You’ve written resolution 72. What do you mean by that? -
You’re welcome.
a) Higher resolution means better quality when you print an image. Doesn’t apply to browsers.
b) You wrote you upload “high resolution pics” so I assumed you know what that means. You need to edit the images you want to upload to your blog and change their resolution to 72dpi.
c) Nothing needs to be “950 X 600 Pixels”. Images for the ML slideshow have to be 950×425 px, other images should be no wider than 600 px (because that’s the width of your post column: height doesn’t matter).
