Candidates for the Darwin Awards (rules on Wikipedia) of course also stand a good chance, combining at least two of the above list. 😂 This was a hoax. Or rather a staged image as a promotional for a volcano chaser.

Click Edit. Double click on each image and tick the box Keep original aspect ratio. Click save. Done. Why? Dunno. Sometimes an image comes with that box ticked but from some places it comes not being ticked. Sometimes an images becomes flattened like with some thumbnails; sometimes squished as with some zooms/comps. The small magnifying glass button between the Size and GIF buttons, will give you a Preview. It is not a search button. Anyway that box cures it. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learn something new every day.👍 Is there a way of setting the image anti squishing permanently so every image uploaded to the forum looks normal without going through the procedure every time?

Anyway that box cures it. wim I found one of my images had to have the size reduced on the width for the "Keep original" to work. Unfortunately it is also necessary to reduce the height in line with reducing the width. Allan EDIT: I have just realised that I was transferring the extra large image that you can get on the Alamy site and after using the "Keep original" box the image was reduced to the same size as you get when first clicking on the Alamy image to bring up the first enlargement. So uploading the first enlargement would save time. ITMA Edited November 9, 2020 by Allan Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
