New user, needing some help. When adding a new product, in the field "Products Image:" it lists the image size as 100x80. I think I understand that this is the size for the image that appears in the screen when the thumbnail is clicked. My question/problem is the thumbnail. How is the thumbnail created? When I size an image to 100x80, it looks fine but the thumbnail looks like it has been squashed. How do I avoid this, I want both images to have the proper and same look. What are the requirements and/or where can I find out more about this, the documentation that I've seen so far doesn't provide much for this topic.
Thanks,
Frank

You can set image sizes under configuration>>images

Images are just shown in size as set in the code...ie. by html and stretch to fit.

Unless you have a modified osc version then there is no automatic thumbnailer included. (If you want one then you can download one from the add-ons section)

Thanks, another question on the logo image. I've set the size in the configuration page to 350 wide and 50 high, my image is 80 wide and 100 high. Seems nothing is being adjusted, the image appears as 80x100. Where I am going wrong? Do I have to resize the image to match my configuration page size?

The logo size is not affected by the image settings in admin.... you will manually have to edit that in this file: includes/header.php

Thanks.

What documentation exists that provides this detailed info, What I've found so far doesn't give detailed info like this.
