Chris, do you remember some time ago we discussed (in the Lobby, I think) the image tamer not resizing images proportionately?
This is still an issue. I gave up with the image tamer and went to resizing by editing the html but we're getting so many images posted lately it's getting a bit onerous, so I've tried investigating.
What's happening is that some images are posted with height and width attributes present in the html. These often seem to be images that are uploaded to Photobucket or Yuku image hosting, so perhaps they're already oversize when uploaded to the hosts and are getting resized.
If the image tamer is operational, it resizes the width but not the height. If no height attribute is present, that's not a problem; the image resizes proportionately. If there is a height assigned in the image tag, that over-rides and you get a tall narrow image, resized widthways but not in height.
I've tried this with a test post: delete the height attribute, beautifully resized image; put it back in, tall thin image.
It seems to me I can't assign a height as well as width limit for the image tamer as there's no guarantee the images will be 4:3 ratio.
Is this something that can be solved in the image tamer?
