Not only did I like your photos, I liked your "Twilight Zone" style opening statement.

Was the browser you were using Internet Explorer by chance?

Perhaps it is just the browser I am using, when I got home and checked, it wasn't there?!

I'm not seeing any borders around your images. Are you by chance talking about the thick grey border below the images on the main page?

snappystreet — Thu, 31 May 2012 06:27:18 +0000

I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of the borders surrounding my photographs in my blog - I am using the Triton Lite theme and new to WordPress!

I'm told I can plug my picture blog here. Its a first try, bit of a wing and a prayer job. I've no idea if its any good technically.

You don’t want to be that person on the Titanic… passing up your last chocolate desert.

Ever seen something you knew you wouldn't get to tomorrow but definitely wanted to do before you kicked the bucket? Well I've compiled a fairly extensive bucket list at http://josiahblacksblog.wordpress.com/my-bucket-list/ and I want suggestions, additions and general discussion if possible. It's an inspiring idea and one we all should think about... setting some goals to accomplish. Something concrete, as tame as going skydiving and crazy as gluing quarters to a street in the crosswalk and photographing people who pick them up. Make your list today.

Hi there,

Had a similar problems, only I upload my photos to flickr then link to them in WordPress.

The problem: I was making the images big in WordPress when I'd taken the code for medium or small images from Flickr. This meant that wordpress was making a smaller image big, which naturally pixelates.

You can get the code for a larger image from flickr, or you can simply add "_b" in the image location code. e.g. instead of

...img src="flickr.com/338383747/image.jpg"...

you'll have

...img src="flickr.com/338383747/image_b.jpg"...

Nothing worked. I ended up just finding new images online and using the URL option instead of uploading, the resized inside of WP. It's the only way I could get it to work.

I'm still having the same problem. I resized my pictures according to the limitations of my layout. They still appear extremely pixelated when I upload from my hard drive (Mac). Checked browser too, everything fine there.

I have uploaded these same pictures before and there was never any problem. It's only recently that the upload doesn't seem to work.

Perhaps I'll try another layout template...

@elizabeth, check the preferences in your browser and see if there is a setting for displayed image quality.

The bottom line is simple. Presize and optimize all images to the exact size you want prior to uploading them.

How good is WordPress at resizing and resampling your images?

Thank you! I think it might actually be my computer..... when i hover over the images it says press shift and A to improve quality of images, don't know why though!

Hi, I'm having problems with the images on one of my posts, I've uploaded images to other posts and they've all been fine but this particular post seems to end up with the images pixelated. How do i resolve this?

Thank you, Elizabeth

Pan, I do not have my browser zoomed, but apparently since I like to have my screen(s) (yes I have multiple) in portrait orientation rather than landscape. When I stretch my window to more than one screen, then the pictures in your post no longer crowd the text.

Does that mean that in certain themes (the one you are using in particular) the pictures show up in the main column as a percentage of the whole browser width not the column width? (just curious, I do not expect to know of any way to fix this, just to be aware of it for future reference)

or maybe it is just because I am using FireFox? (okay just checked and it happens in IE too so not a FF issue)

This would definitely be something that people would need to keep in mind when using different themes for a photo rich blog.

Sorry, a little slow this morning. Looking at this attachment page http://ghostofkarlmarx.wordpress.com/mongolia-highlights/the-soviet-mongolian-friendship-monument-in-erdenet/ just at the top you can see the link to the original image

Full size is 980 × 653 pixels

and the dimensions are a link.

justjennifer on "resizing images in a gallery's attachment page"

justjennifer — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 10:40:04 +0000

With the newer themes there is also a link to the original image when your image is larger than what is shown on the attachment page. What theme are you using? I couldn't find any Gallery on the one linked to your name using Twenty Ten.

Thanks for the reply, though the answer isn't what I hoped.

I know what you're suggesting, I've tried it briefly actually, but I'm pretty partial to the attachment page over the direct-to-image-file link. The extra information and navigation options that come with the attachment page make it a better fit for what I'm doing, so I may have to go with a paid CSS upgrade.

Thanks for the answer, hallluke.

Does anyone else have any other information or advice?

Attachment pages display images at their full size. The only way that I know of changing this is with the paid CSS upgrade. I don't know of many people who use attachment pages so it might be an idea to make your pictures link directly to the image file itself. My browser (Firefox) autosize images to fit the screen if they are too large with an option of zooming in/out if the user wants to.

I'm using "image galleries" to organize and display photographs on my blog (http://ghostofkarlmarx.wordpress.com/mongolia-highlights/), but I'm having trouble getting the images to appear in the size I'd like when viewed as an "attachment page."

All the images in my galleries are on the larger size, the long edge is 980 pixels. This size is perfect for landscape oriented images (http://ghostofkarlmarx.wordpress.com/mongolia-highlights/moneyshot-16/), but not for portrait oriented images (http://ghostofkarlmarx.wordpress.com/mongolia-highlights/locals-waiting-at-the-sainshand-train-station-to-pick-up-passangers/). With portrait oriented images, this size makes it so that people visiting the website can't view the entire image at once, they have to scroll up/down.

I'm trying to figure out how to change the size that portrait oriented images appear on an attachment page for a gallery. I don't want to simply resize the images, because I'd still like the full size image to be available (and because that's a really ghetto way of solving this problem), I simply want to be able to adjust the size at which the images display on the gallery's attachment page.

Here's what I've already tried: In the media menu (under "settings"), I've set the "Large Size" images to have a maximum horizontal length of 940 and a maximum vertical length of 680. This only seems to have an effect, however, when I insert images directly into a post. This setting isn't having any effect on my galleries' attachment pages.

@countrycinderella: Thanks for pointing out.

No I've never changed theme. Perhaps you've zoomed in too much in your browser, or you've got a very small screen?

deborahshane on "Inserting images without links"

deborahshane — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 07:11:57 +0000

Well I'm having the same problem. I uploaded pictures to the media and when I went to insert them on a page, it ask for the url. I tried to figure it out but couldn't, what am I doing wrong?

countrycinderella on "Inserting images without links"

countrycinderella — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 01:14:06 +0000

Pan, did you change your theme after you originally created this post:

http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/images-the-three-link-options/

I went there to check it out, and it has some very good information that I am going to be sure to direct some of my friends to look at, but I noticed that the images were crowding the text out of the column. Just thought I would point taht out

auxclass is right. That way you don't waste storage space, and you get better quality too - see here:

How about just uploading pictures that are not hi-res? Rework the pictures with Photo-shop, Gimp or whatever.
