Photos sizes different on different pages

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I am using the Simple Blue theme. I want to have a different banner photo on each page. I am using the same height and width constraints for each photo and the photos are larger than the constraints so but the sizes of the photos show up differently on the different pages:

and

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

SUGGESTION:
Resize the photos before uploading. Try resizing all your images (for the banners) to 900px/width X 285px/height and re-upload them. This will give you more consistent results.

REASON:
If one photo is 1000px/width X 500px/height and the other is 1200px/width X 400px/height, resizing them both to 900px/width X 300px/width will give you differing results.. because you have two different size photos that are both being constrained to the same dimensions.

TEST:
On the second link, try constraining the image to the correct width and leave the width blank; you'll find that the image ends up being higher than the first one.

ADVICE:
If all your photos have the same dimensions, then you can constrain them both to the same dimensions and they will both be the same size. You really should always resize/optimise your images before uploading. This helps speed up the page load time too.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. I will try editing the photos to the same size ahead of time and see what happens.
