My website is tricky.
Bought a template and in my photo gallery. Some presets of the template i need changed.
In my template, my photos resize/zoom to fit the page. resulting in the loss of quality.
So, what I did in photoshop; I made photos with a large 3 inch black space/border (the same black color blends in my template background) Making the actual .jpeg file larger considering the black border. Large enough that my template preset does not indeed auto-enlarge the photo, b/c it is large enough. Now If I upload just my photo (WITHOUT huge black border) into template, my template would “fit to screen” the photo. And I don’t want that to happen. rather let the jpegs be the size they naturally are.
MY method with the big black border does work, but unfortunately now there is 2 problems why I just need a programmer to take off this auto-enlarge preset:
The photo/blackborder.jpeg files are so large, they take longer to load.
looks like the web automatically makes the quality of the image softer b.c the file is too big for the web.
I need assistance in not having my photos auto-enlarged on my site, so I can take of my photoshop jpegs with big black border, and use my photos with no border.
I believe this will help the quality of my images.
Thanks!
