    Hi guys,

    Is there someone able to explain in plain english how the resizing works?
    I read this page several times and still don’t get it…

    I know, I’m not very smart but frankly those explanations don’t make much sense to me.
    This page shows a capture with a target size of 1024×1024 and then the options take other sizes, like 1000×1200.

    Is it possible to have an example of a target size 1024×1024 and see what happens with both options?

    Thanks.

    Ha, ha, sorry about that…
    Wrong copy/paste – this was a password for an account somewhere…
    I told you I’m not smart!

    The correct link is this one.

    I just read again this page. Still doesn’t make any sense to me.
    Wouldn’t have been clearer to have just the “longer” size of an image as reference value, and reduce the other size proportionally? If I set the larger size at 1024 it seems that there is only a single option left: reduce images to that size for the longest one and the other side will remain proportional. Am I wrong?

    @dsl225 thanks for explaining me your point of view. It makes sense in one use case but please note that an image can be resized “in” or “out” and then both sizes make sense 🙂

    But may I suggest you to just run some tests yourself with different resize options and sizes and see the resulting images yourself so you can better understand how the whole resizing option works?

    Have a nice weekend,

    Thanks, I still don’t understand what you mean by in and out but I’ll close this thread here because we are not talking about the same.

    Image sizes in WP Media Settings are the same for height and width and in your screen capture also. But you give examples with different sizes and this doesn’t make sense.

    If everything is clear for other users, that’s fine.
