For your website gallery thumbnails. Would you: ni A) Size them to the same width (say 250px) but let the height be auto figured (nonuniform look, but aspect ratio looks correct) B) Size them 250px by 250px that way all thumbnails are uniform looking but the aspect ratio will be off. I am writing my own little gallery. Option A looks nice when I line up all the EXIF text to the bottom,. But option B looks better for making things look uniform. I just can't decide. Have I stuck because the way I choose will then change the code I do for the rest of the page?
How about: Size them to 250px by 250px, and also do a crop on the thumbnail so the aspect ratio stays the same?
I think a uniform thumbnail is nice, and i think option three like how Phil was presenting is a good idea... I use WordPress for my site so I don't have to write all the code from scratch. It generates uniform crops without affecting the aspect ratio or orientation of the image. The boat for example is a vertical if you load the zoom icon or its own page links
I am sure I can use GD or ImageMagik on my server to do the reize for tumbs to keep aspect ratio correct.
Yup, got all thumbnails made with ImageMagick with ratio intact. I feel like there is a lot of wasted space on the site, but I am also running a 4k monitor. I set my 2nd monitor to 1920x1080 or one of the 2560 resolutions to see how things look
well, I would convert the site to wordpress if its not, which I guess its not, since you are writing the code and then I will get a theme with preloaded settings for photographers!
I used WordPress years ago. I do not like it anymore for what I am doing. It is too cookie cutter and I am trying to get back my HTML, PHP, and MySQL skills along with learning CSS. I have not done any coding since 2016.
