   When uploading images, How can I force a correct size in height and width for images medium. As the miniatures.
   "Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)

   Image medium exemple 300px X 300px

   Just through experimentation it seems anything above thumbnail keeps the proportaions. For example, in my default settings if I leave height and width set to 300 x 300 and upload a 3888 x 2592 image, then it is cropped to 300 x 200. If I change the default settings to 0 x 300, then that same image is cropped to 450 x 300. I haven't done the math, but it seems proportions are maintained...which is good.

   The thumbnail does have a check box in the settings area that allows them to be cropped to exact deminsions, but that isn't available in larger sizes. I guess if you wanted a square 300 x 300 image, you could set that as the default for thumbnail...of course, your images would most likely be skewed unless you are uploading square images.

   In my blog use all 3 types of images generated by wordpress.

   Miniature 150x150px
   Medium 300x300px
   Large 800x600 or 600x800

   And I need that the image has a median ratio symmetrical in both height and width, no matter who cut part of the picture.

   That means an original image, for example. 1024x768px that would have grown to 300x300px.

   I do not understand because it only allows wordpress generate thumbnails not symmetrical and medium-symmetrical.

   I'm using WP 2.7...maybe there is a difference in your version.

   What I want is that both the height and width of the image are the same medium.

   I think the only way you can do that without hacking the code is to set the thumbnail to 300 x 300 (or whatever size you want) and make sure "Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions is checked", then use the thumbnail for your medium image.

   But maybe someone else knows a better or different way.

   Use wordpress as Photolog, and my design theme to display 2 galleries with images square.

   Gallery 1 with thumbnail images
   Gallery 2 medium with images

   I think that chooses to use that option, use the thumbnail configured to the needs of an image median. 300x300 and for display in the gallery thumbnails rescale the images to 150x150 with style = "width: 150px; height: 150px;"

   correct?

   But I would like to know if you opened any better way.

   Thank you.

   The Scissors plugin version >= 1.2.6 adds support for cropping of medium and large images to the specified dimensions ... if you still need a solution after all these months.
