Skewed photographs

Featured Replies

Hi folks,

Am trying out an eval copy of FM 7, as I need to publish a large database of photographs to the web. Everything is working as planned except that all the photographs are squeezed into the same sized box, and lose their original proportions. This makes them look awful and is totally impractical. I have searched in vain inside FM for settings but find none to change this behavior. Any help would be most appreciated!

Charles,

Thanks for your post. I have that boxed checked already. In Browse mode in FM it works as advertised; only when the database is published with IWP do the images lose their proportions.

I have this same problem. I have the "Maintain original proportions" box checked and the photos look fine on my desktop. However, they are skewed when viewed through IWP (all photos are stretched to fill the container field). This seems to only happen when a reference to the file is saved (instead of the actual file).

I am on a Mac with OS 10.3.5. Problem happens in both Explorer and Safari. Pictures are referenced through a calculation field with the result being a container ("image:/FilePath").

Does anyone have a solution to this?
