  Hi Mat, the view options are what actually means that for portrait photos you'll always have issues with viewing. I've updated the index example page to give you the view options.

  Please advise if this has been resolved.

  Looks better now, though I kind of find it annoying that I have to actually 'resize' to view an image.. Kind of hurts usability imo.

  A gallery I really like because of the auto-scaling is on http://www.brook-pifer.com/

  #1 rule - don't change my browser size! That's why Brook Pifer fails.

  Does she have an example of a portrait image?

  I'm not sure what you mean by "having to resize to view an image". Images are currently centered absolutely. If you look at Brook's site, you'll see she fails this notion too. You have to work out where you want to bind an image (top|middle|bottom) + (left|center|right). These will be options shortly. Portrait images will always be problematic.

  All images maintain the image ratio.

  Height: always bind image size to the height of the browser window Width: always bind image size to the width of the browser window Fill Outer: always bind image size to completely cover screen space (ie: no whitespace) Full: always bind image size to be completely viewable (width/height depending on browser size and image size).

  When I land on the page in Safari the image is there straight away and the head of the guy is cut off. To see the image completely I need to 'resize' it by clicking on a button that isn't that obvious for non-web savvy people. By not obvious, I mean that for the average person that could stumble across your gallery they may not understand what each of those buttons means / does. It's too much work for the viewer, considering how lazy people are online these days, they want to click one button to next image, next image, next image.

  And yep, portrait images are always an issue.

  Another 'bug' when I'm clicking through the gallery and I decide to click on one of the different scaling options it sends me back to the beginning of the gallery. That's a frustration.

  I'll close this one off if these are the issues mate.

  Currently the options for resize are being displayed only as examples. For the real system, the creator will choose what they want (possibly allowing for user based resizing but I haven't decided that yet) for: "site" default; gallery default; page setting. Hence the "issue" throwing you back to the start. The links are being provided as examples of how the jQuery plugin will be able to used (if used as a plugin on another site, rather than using the whole jmc_pagery as a drop in pseudo-app)
