Hi Matt, thanks for trying my plugin. As long as you set the dimensions on the settings page before uploading the images, they should be sized to fit the slideshow.
However, the images will be cropped to fit, so if you want them be shrunk or cropped a certain way, I suggest editing your images beforehand.
There could also be a conflict with your theme, some themes crop or scale images in unexpected ways. If you could add the slideshow you are working on to the site, I can take a look.

Hi mate,
I have been playing around with the slideshow on the page;
http://precisepressurewashing.co.uk/domestic/roof-cleaning-glasgow/
At the moment its looking pretty small. but as i said, i set the sizes before i uploaded it, and it still was totally the wrong size to match the homepage banner pic.
Could you possibly have a look at the homepage and give me a rough idea of size and tell me if i should resize the actual pics before uploading and if so, what size to set the slideshow in settings to match roughly the size of the homepage banner.
Any help would be appreciated mate..
Cheers.
Matt
If you view the slideshow images in a new window or tab, you’ll see they are the correct size: http://precisepressurewashing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Buchanan-Rear1.jpg
Something in your theme or another plugin is shrinking the images. I would try deactivating plugins like Fancybox for WordPress to figure out if one of them is shrinking the images.

Hi mate, yeah i know they are bigger normally, but i want them to be long and thin, like on the home page. But i see your point, something is shrinking them regardless of their original size.
Does meteor slides resize respectively, i.e, if i alter the height will the width be altered accordingly to keep it looking normal? or are width/height totally seperate with your plugin?
Thanks for replying so quickly to, you have been a great help
Meteor Slides crops the images to fit the slideshow, it won’t shrink or scale them so I would suggest prepping your image in an image editor first if they are too large.
