   Hello again ladies and gents! This one is for Alex Rabe...
   First, a HUGE thanks for NextGen Gallery. Great plugin that is making life easier for a lot of people using WordPress.

   Now for my question... I've seen this asked in several locations but never with an answer so I thought I'd ask here...

   How can I keep my main image's aspect ratio using Galleryview for NextGen Gallery?

   I've got several images that switch between portrait and landscape and I can either have one or the other look correct. The site I'm building is for a photographer so the image quality is a primary concern. I've edited galleryview.css and gallery-galleryview.php to display my images at 700px x 500px (my main content display area is 755px). This is great for the landscape shots, but then my portrait shots are squished. And if I change it, the reverse happens...

   Is there some variable I can put in to show all of the photos correctly?

   Thanks in advance and for a great product!

   Yoo,

   Found a solution: I use the real width and height size of my picture to show in the panel of galleryview. Width and height are stored in the wp_ngg_pictures.meta_data.

   Do to this:
   - In galleryview.css, don't put any width and height fixed size.
   Ex:
   .galleryview .panel img { background: none;}

   In gallery-galleryview.php replace the line 22 by
   <img src="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" width="<?php echo $image->meta_data['width']; ?>" height="<?php echo $image->meta_data['height']; ?>" />

   Need to change the .panel class in order to show the picture in the middle (use margin:auto).

   cheers,
   Fifi
