 * For some reason I can’t seem to get my images to import from my media library.
   They seem to import ok when it’s a NEW import through the plugin. I really don’t
   want to redo my whole gallery if I have to import images again. Also, I resized
   some of my images thgouth the WP interface and the new size is not getting picked
   up in my galleries. The images still display at their much larger sizes.
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks,
 * Michael

 * When you create a new gallery, you can select images from your media library.
   Are you saying that when you select images from the media library, they don’t
   show or work?
 * There is an edit link next to each image in your gallery. Use that to edit /resize
   the images.

 * Thanks TTHQ,
 * Not sure what was going on (server issue?) but I was able to get my images to
   load into the gallery finally. Now my problem is that when I click on the thumbnail
   to view the full image it is still displaying the original LARGE size and not
   the smaller resize that I did via the edit link.
 * Any ideas?

 * Hi Michael,
    You can control the size of the preview image by using the watermark
   settings.
 * Simply activate the watermark feature in your gallery settings and set the “Watermarked
   Max Preview Dimension (px)” value to a size of your choice.
    The “Watermarked
   Max Preview Dimension (px)” field will govern how big the preview is. When no
   watermark is set, the plugin simply uses the full sized non-watermarked image
   as the size of the popup.
 * (NOTE: activating the watermark feature is done simply by setting the “Watermark
   Text” field. If you prefer to not have any watermark text to appear, the workaround
   is easy – just enter a “.” in the text field and set the “Watermark Text Placement”
   to “centered”)

 * I ended up resizing all my images, but in hindsight your suggestion would have
   worked too. Thanks. [resolved]
