 * Hello,
 * I have to say that I really like the Camer theme, and I’m excited to get it working
   right for my photoblog.
 * Today, I was adding pics, and I noticed that even though I have “Crop featured
   images for the Photowall Blog Layout” checked, some of my thumbs aren’t cropping
   to the same size as the others. It’s the pics that are portrait. They are ending
   up with a thumb that is taller than the others, so the grid is no longer even.
 * Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening or how to resolve it?
 * Thanks,
 * Josh

 * Thank you for that kind comment about Camer.
 * Is it possible to show a link to the page in question and i will look at the 
   source code and be able to tell what is happening.
 * For your photowall layout, what is the original size of your images when uploading?

 * Forgot to ask another question…. were your images uploaded before you turned 
   on the cropped setting for the Photowall layout? If so, you need to install the
   [Regenerate Thumbnails plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/regenerate-thumbnails/)—
   basically you need to regenerate the images in your site to apply new thumbnail
   sizes.

 * Andre,
 * thanks again for the reply. So after reading your post, I went back and looked
   at the specific image that wasn’t working. it was wider than 450, but less tall
   than 450. I removed it, readjusted its dimensions and now it’s working. I guess
   it needs to be larger than 450×450 to get cropped down to 450×450? I assumed 
   it would fill in the empty space with black.
 * Thanks again. I’m sure I will have more questions as I continue to tweak it.

 * Good to hear. With regards to image sizes, yes, images need to be larger than
   the intended crop. Cropping does not necessarily “enlarge”, but rather crops 
   from a larger version.
 * There is one thing you could do if their image is cropped where the image is 
   smaller…you can add a bit of CSS code to the customizer’s Additional CSS tab 
   that will make the image go 100% of the container it sits in. For example, the
   Photowall layout has a width of around the 450px so that on smaller screens when
   the columns reduce to like 2, the posts are auto sized to fit and fill the area.
 * But if your image is smaller, you can try this method:
 *     ```
       .blog-photowall .post-image img {
           width: 100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * Only caveat to this is that this is for the width and the height will be proporational
   to it; meaning the height might be different based on a non-cropped image.
 * That stretches the image to fit edge-to-edge in each photowall post summary. 
   Hope that makes sense, as I had to read what I wrote twice, lol
 * One thing to make note of is that the larger your image, the higher quality it
   will be when cropped and/or resized. Making a small image larger will be the 
   opposite and will degrade in quality much more.
