Portfolio Cropping

  • Hello I am very new and very clueless to wordpress. I have the greenwich village theme, i’m not sure if that is relevant or not to my problem but there you go.
    I have been using the portfolio setting to display my artwork and have all my photos displayed as cubes (300×300) and then also include lightboxes to enlarge the works so people can see them not cropped. However they are automatically cropping in the center and I was wondering if there was a way to change some of their automatic cropping? For some of the art it works but for others the thumbnails or cubes don’t really make sense and are cut off in the wrong places.
    This has been driving me nuts and I have been trying to fix it and research the problem on my own. Any help would be amazing,
    Thanks.

    under works you will see some of my art is cropped off where the only important part is. For instance “spider” shows mostly the paper.

    So for example to edit that crop on the spider thumb, got into Media Library in the admin find that image, click it to open Attachment Details window, now under the image should be an Edit Image button, click it, now you’ll be in the image editor.
    On the far right enter 1 and 1 in the aspect ratio, then go over to the image with mouse pointer and click and drag to bring out the selection of the area you’d like for Thumbnail… as soon as you start to drag thearea over the image the Selection text boxes (under Aspect Ratio far right) will fill with numbers, you can then edit those numbers to be 300X300 and then move the selection area that is over the image to get the spider in , then hit the crop button above the image (button at furthest left) , than will re adjust the image to be the crop but before hitting Save go over to the far right again at the bottom under Apply changes to: and select Thumbnail then hit save.

    NOw I don;t know how your theme works but if it goes by wordpress generated thumbnail for images in your work section it should update and have the spider in view.
