Thumbnail clipping / aspect ratio

Greetings,

I am looking for information regarding when the album thumbnails start to clip the edges of the image. I can modify my source images, but I wanted to know what dimensions I should use to avoid clipping at the top and bottom of the thumbnail.

Thank you for all your assistance, past & present,

Re: Thumbnail clipping / aspect ratio

OK, a little more research later... this is specifically regarding the album thumbnail. The image thumbnails stretch instead of clip, so my question may not have made much sense.

With flop_style, I have a narrow white border around my images, so my observations are imperfect, but it appears that, with a little experimentation, any image with an aspect ratio larger than 4:3 (i.e. 800x600) will experience some clipping on the sides, increasing as the image becomes wider.

Likewise, any image with an aspect ratio smaller than 4:3 will be clipped at the top and bottom. So my answer is, try to keep images close to 4:3 to minimize clipping on the album thumbnail.

Hope this helps!
