 * Hi guys,
 * Sorry to bother you. I’m currently using Hueman version 2.2.3, as this was the
   latest when I set up the site in question. Now I’ve been updating the site for
   a while but have never actually got round to updating the theme as it works for
   me. I now see there is a much newer theme, but it does look quite different, 
   especially with the bigger header image at the top.
 * What I’m having problems is I think I have misunderstood or something images 
   and sizing. I’m currently using the theme with one column and one sidebar. The
   main feature image at the top of the post looks to be 900×425, but some reason
   its using an image the size of 720×340. Equally some of the other images such
   as the thumbnails in the sidebar leading to posts seem to be 350×165, but when
   you look at the actual image they too are 720×340?
 * Currently my media settings are set to:
 * Thumbnail 300×300
    Medium 300×300 large 960×720
 * In theme functions.php sizes are defined as:
 * add_image_size( ‘thumb-small’, 160, 160, true );
    add_image_size( ‘thumb-standard’,
   320, 320, true ); add_image_size( ‘thumb-medium’, 520, 245, true ); add_image_size(‘
   thumb-large’, 720, 340, true );
 * So none of the actual sizes I have measured are being generated? I’m confused!
 * Another problem is I am trying to use an image say 200×200, yet when it appears
   on the page it is being resized to say 250×250? Why? Yet an image of say 168×
   111 remains intact? If I create a new size of 200×200 (which would only be used
   on one page), does that mean for every picture I upload from now on it will create
   one this size?
 * The whole thing is driving me crazy, since I am going round in circles! Can you
   provide any help?
 * Many thanks!

 * I actually found out that one of my problems was with Photoshop. I was taking
   a screen shot of the page and then loading it into Photoshop and checking to 
   see what the dimensions were of an image. But it was not setup correctly based
   on screen resolution etc (which I still hasven’t really fixed), it was reporting
   different image dimensions, so was confusing me. Using an extension for your 
   browser (I use firefox) such as ‘measureit’, I was able to measure the dimensions
   of things in the browser itself, realising Photoshop was at error.
 * In regards to the sizing of images take a look at some of these pages which might
   help:
