Slider stretching images

[ivhero]

Hello – first of all – nice theme! I am having a problem with the homepage slider stretching the images I load in to it.

Here is an example:
This is the original image : http://www.design33.net/original.jpg
This is that image in the slider : http://www.design33.net/intheslider.jpg

The image is large enough and I am using the settings Allignment None, and Large in the wordpress uploader.

Any ideas why my images are being stretched? It is happening to all of them, not just this one!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ivhero!

First of all, thank you for the purchase!
Regarding the image slider: the image width and height had to be hard-coded in order to make the theme responsive (i.e. rearrange automatically depending on the screen resolution and type of device). This is why the image is being resized according to the pre-set dimensions (950×330 px). I would recommend cropping the slider images to these dimensions in order for them to appear “as-is” in the slider (in case you do not have an image editor installed, I can crop them for you). If you wish though, I can try to modify the template files so as to increase the image height to your preferred figure. Let me know what you think!

Sincerely,
