Title: resizing image Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # resizing image * Resolved [tsangsar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsangsar/) * (@tsangsar) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resizing-image-1/) * I have a slideshow that was originally created by a now retired web designer. I want to add new slides to the show, which was successful; however, the dimensions to that image are wrong and creates extra space between the slideshow and the text, which wasn’t there before. * I tried to “scale image” to the size of slideshow dimensions by clicking on the“ edit image” link when the image is selected from the “set feature image” screen, but when I type in one dimension, it automatically resizes the other dimension and won’t let me customize it. * In other words, I want my image to be 730X300 (the size of my slideshow), but when I type in 730 in one of the box, the number 548 automatically appears in the other box. * Can you please help?

Try [http://pixlr.com/editor/](http://pixlr.com/editor/) open your image(s) , go to image/image size and resize your image to 730×300. Actually the cropping may be better than resizing, depending on what you need to do (image / canvas size). * Thread Starter [tsangsar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tsangsar/) * (@tsangsar) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resizing-image-1/#post-4549330) * Thanks so much.

I initially had some trouble with the height not being what I wanted it to be (525px), but then I realized I had published the slides first. So I deleted the page, the slideshow and the slides, then recreated the slides. The slides now show a size of 774X525, which is perfect. I then created a new slideshow and inserted the slides, then a new page and inserted the short code. I’m still getting slides that are roughly an inch and a half tall, when I think they should be more like 5 inches tall. Here is a link to the show. Any ideas? * Plugin Author [Josh Leuze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jleuze/) * (@jleuze) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resizing-image-1/#post-4549526) * [@giambed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/giambed/) Can you post a link so I can take a look? * [giambed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/giambed/) * (@giambed) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resizing-image-1/#post-4549527) * Sorry Josh, I tinkered around with this a bit more and got it to work. First I thought it was because I had sized my pictures outside of WP, so I sized them on my desktop rather than scaling them in WP. I also saved them as PNG’s. Originally they were JPG’s. One of those 2 things seemed to do the trick, although now it seems to work even when I try to recreate the problem! Meteor Slides is working perfectly for me now. Thank you so much. * Plugin Author [Josh Leuze](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jleuze/) * (@jleuze) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resizing-image-1/#post-4549528) * You’re welcome, good to hear you got it working!
