Squished thumbnail solutions:
The above examples show solutions to squished thumbnail pictures. You can crop the picture to fit, or "fake" parts in as seen in the "expanded thumbnail" example above. The thumb was turned to a landscape orientation in Photoshop using the blur filter and feathering the selections.

Setting up portrait thumbnails in galleries that have no frames:
Some galleries do not have frames included, but are still squishing the pictures. You can open the "gallery.htm" and either remove the "width" and height numbers for each picture, or give them new portrait sizes. Change the items in red in the example below (code is from one of the GraphiX templates):

<a href="javascript:popUp('gallery/Fgallery1-2.jpg')"><img src="gallery/gallery1-2.jpg" border="0" hspace="1" vspace="1" width="130" height="90"></a><br>

Or you can just remove the width="130" height="90" using the search and replace method. Choose "edit" "replace" in Notepad or your text editor.
