full image not visible in slideshow

Hi guys,
I'm greatly pleased at the new simplified application to convert homepages to full size slideshows. However I'm only seeing a portion of each image as they cycle through. I don't see any adjustment for this. I thought it might be connected/dictated by the homepage theme settings so I changed the background photo setting to "fill" (and tried a few other settings as well), but that didn't seem to have any effect.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Happy Shooting, Scott

    The only option for the background slideshow is to completely fill the page with the image (scale it up until no background colour is visible, even if that results in the image being cropped off on one axis).

    For that reason, you should almost certainly avoid putting portrait images into a background slideshow, for example.

    Thank you, but I do actually want to completely fill the page with each image, in fact, that part is fine. My issue is that you can only see about 1/3 of each image. Should I scale them all down? Put them in their own folder maybe? That seems a bit tedious with 40 images. Perhaps it's not worth doing at all - I may just return to a single image background.
