image crop on full width portfolio slider?

[crease]

I am using the standard slider with full width media on my portfolio pages as most of the images are great but a few crop the main detail off…. I understand the the max height is 800px and I am using crop thumbnails plugin to organise the rest of my images thumbs etc where they crop but i cant understand how these images are used… do they use thumbs? if so which one? or if it just a full width image cropped from the top? can I adjust this in anyway or am I going to have to upload other images specifically cropped for this section?

I would appreciate your help on this. Thanks.

Hi

Please could you provide me with a link and point out which images are being cropped?

Yes that image is portrait so a lot of it will get cropped, what do you want to do with it? One option would be to add this to your custom css:

.flexslider .slides li img {
  height: auto;
  max-width: 100%;
  width: auto;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

To show all of your images at it’s original size

With other images throughout the site. i.e. the shop thumbnails I am able to use the plugin “crop thumbnails” to chose what is shown in the various thumbnail options. So I can adjust what is seen of the image within the square crop. I wondered if the slider used a similar thumb system… but then I tried all thumbs including full width and it had no effect. The product is at the bottom of the image on this one. SO I need that to be in view. I could crop the image but then it would be cropped thoughout the rest of the site too… maybe the only option would be to upload a fresh copped version of the images I need to be used for the portfolio.

Does the full width slide crop 800px from the top always?

Hi

The slider does not use thumbnails, that’s why you can’t use the plugin to chose what’s shown. Yes it crops from the top but it can be changed to the bottom if you like, however this will apply to all of your slides

I could try it and see what happens…. Would this be a CSS edit?

Apologies, turns out this isn’t possible with the flexslider, the only option would be the one I provided above
