Problem with Size of Slideshow Photos

Last week I downloaded some new photos into 3 of my 7 galleries. After doing this I noticed that the photos in these 3 galleries now fill my entire screen when viewing them in the slideshow format. Previous to this, the photos all had a nice black border around them which made the captions easier to view, etc. (Now the captions are on top of the photos due to the photo being so darn big!) I did not change any settings when I downloaded the new photos. This problem is only occurring in the 3 galleries I added new photos to. The other 4 galleries still have the smaller slideshow photos. Any idea what might have happened when I added these new photos? And how can I fix this problem so that my slideshow photos don't take up the whole screen? Thanks!

    Hi JLand and welcome to Dgrin! wave.gif

    Can you post a link to one of the galleries where you see that so we could take a closer look?

    What browser version do you use? Does it happen in another browser as well?

    Problem Can't Be Changed
    I was just told by one of the SM helpers that this is a situation that cannot be changed. Apparently once your browser (resolution?) becomes familiar with your gallery it will make ALL your photos appear full screen in the Slideshow. Sorry I am not explaining that very well - photography is my thing - not computers! I'm very disappointed. My photos looked so much better in Slideshow with the black "border" around them. Plus there are a few that have captions and now the captions sit on top of the photo. Not happy about that. I really think SmugMug could do something about this and create a gallery setting if someone does not want their photos to appear full screen. :cry

    Still a Mystery ...
    Of course, I would give anything to find out why 4 of my 7 galleries still show my photos with a black "border' around them ... and the other 3 galleries show my photos full screen. All photos were downloaded from the same camera and computer. The size of the original photos - either landscape or portrait - are the same throughout the galleries. (Other than a handful that were cropped.) It's a mystery to me! For future photo additions ... I wish I could figure out what to do to the photos BEFORE I downloaded them to my SM site to avoid this "full screen" issue.

    No one can help without a link to your site (as Sebastian noted in his reply above). Please add it to your signature so it is always available to the helpers here. Click the clipboard in the navbar above, then Edit Signature. Begin your link with http:// to make it clickable.
