IE, their largest dimension is the same size as the player (maintains aspect ratio). * Fit: Stretches images to fit the inside of the player (DOES NOT maintain aspect ratio). * None: Does not resize image at all. Appears to center the image in the player and crops whatever is too big (maintains aspect ratio) * Also, images will display improperly if they are too large. I’m not sure what the limit is, but definitely above 2000px is too big. * Note that NGG does NOT automatically resize images on upload.

I’m having the same trouble. It appears that you actually want to set stretching to true (this is actually overstretching, maintaining aspect ration and stretching to fit the sideshow). However, it still doesn’t seem to work properly. Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
