I have a thumbnail preset set by height so all the pics line up nice on the site,
and when user clicks on it, i want a larger pic to show...

These pics may be uploaded very large, so some Resizing or Scaling preset needs to occur. It seems like If i do the 2nd pic (larger popup pic) based on height, the pics that are in portrait mode will look small and less detailed, than their normal landscape counterparts. It would be nice if the Imache Cache module dynamically resizes pic by width requirement if a checkbox is checked to do that if height is larger than width, but alas i dont see that option. so was curious whats my best bet... a simple 50% for height, so resizes based on percentage (kinda dont want to do that as the photographer uploading could just upload 5MP pics instead of optimal 2MP, which look better when resized 50%)?

If you set the Image Cache preset to scale by a width of 640px and a height of 640px, then it will stop when it hits the first value. So, your landscape pics will be 640px wide, while your portrait pics will be 640px tall. Essentially, they will be the exact same size.

Wow thanks!
Just assumed it would Scale exactly, but I guess thats what Resize does.
