I just installed the 1.2RC5 and I can't find a way to have the thumbnails represent the complete picture. The default Imagecache presets of fast gallery and the new internal cache in RC5 both crop the portrait style pictures to landscape mode. Is that intended as the default setting (all portaits of people have the head cropped.)

If I remove the crop of Imagecache, then the layout is completely messed-up, having pictures overlap each other. (I saved the presets, flushed, emptied browser caches, etc.)

Maybe I should have black borders to get a squared image like in the screenshots (http://rapsli.ch/drupal/drupal/fast-gallery-screenshots). Can I do that with Imagecache or do I have to add it to my pictures before?

Thanks for that great module.

p.s. I've also get into some troubles with Imagecache when I specified an absolute path for fast_gallery; the pictures were found as the gallery included the right number of pictures but the pictures were not converted. The path to the pictures on the fast_gallery page is something like sites/default/files/imagecache/namespace//my_aboslute_path/piture.jpg and I think something like this was also handed out to /usr/bin/convert.

If you use imagecache... just change the settings of your imagecache preset. You decide what your thumbs look like.

about the absolut path. I'll check.

From the default preset, if I add 120 to the height field (keeping 150 to the width), I just found that imagecache produces a wrong output for convert: there's a '+-' in the crop geometry which is wrong and produces tiles instead of a single image.
convert 'oiginal.jpg' -resize 80x120! -crop 150x100+-35+10! -quality '75' 'target.jpg'

If I set the offset as a number, that works I'm going to report that. Thanks.

When mixing portrait and landscape thumbnails, it looks better when portrait images are centered IMO.
So I added text-align: center; in .single-image:

#fast_gallery .single-image{
float:left;
margin-left:5px;
height:125px;
width:170px;
text-align: center;
}

Works perfectly now.
