Try this free program someone on here posted a while back called Easy Thumbs. http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/ . This program is great for making mass thumbnails, but you should also be able to use it to adjust your photos to the same size. :cool:


OK Thanks ... Just tried it threw them in and wanted 540x540. They still come out with a a few pixels difference.


Done it. Changed setting from "best fit" to "stretch to fit" on ezthumbs..... Handy little program.

It's easy to be all thumbs with ezthumbs.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Rolly.... while you are here is this the bit you change to slow the slideshow down.



$(function() {
setInterval( "slideSwitch()", 7000 );
});

I did risk trying it and changed it from 5000 to 7000 but didn't notice any difference.

Thanks in advance.

Yes that adjusts the speed. Try a little more or refresh your browser again.:)

Yes, each 1000 is = approx 1 second, so you only increased it from 5 to 7 seconds.

Steve, changing values and watching the results is a great was to see exactly what each function in a script actually does ... just be sure you have a copy of the script when it was working in case things go wrong. FWIW, Jon Raasch wrote that Simple Slideshow script in 2008 as he was first learning Jquery. He later wrote a more optimized version, but it is more code and harder to set up, and as such, defeats the purpose of a "Simple Slideshow". :)
