My photographs are being compressed in the width using Backlight Theater, Flickety. How do I turn that off? I don't EVER want my photos squished, but just want the space the vertical or horizontal sides to be filled with the background color. It works on the Portrait orientation photos, but not landscape. Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure what you mean. Can you share a link?

Yes, http://gretchentroop.com/photography/ba … /musictop/
Go to the second photo and you will see the difference between the Flickety and the thumbnail, it's not keeping the aspect ratio.
Thanks for your help!

your link is giving a 404 Page Not Found error. Can you check to make sure it's the right link?

I'm not seeing any differences between the thumbnails and the large images. I'm viewing in Firefox and Chrome.

I'm in Safari, but it's definitely squished... how do you attach images in this forum?
Same in Chrome and in Firefox.

I'm seeing it in Safari and Firefox. The length-to-width of the image in a separate tab is ~1.5 (approx 3:2). Viewing the image in the gallery shows it at 1.33, making it disproportionally taller/skinner than the original.

How do I make the aspect ratio stay the same as the original? Is Flickity still under development? The Vegas slideshow works great on the home page, but I need the other photos to show up so people have some idea that there are others... I can't post this with them squished.

The height of the slideshow should be equal to the height of your shortest image. Either reduce the slideshow height, or increase the height of your images to meet the slideshow height.

I can't get Flickity to work consistently. Please look at...
http://gretchentroop.com/photography/ba … /weddings/
and
http://gretchentroop.com/photography/ba … ineart100/
The only difference is that weddings (the first link) has every single photo with a height of 640px and it is ALL over the place, the Publishing is set the same in Lightroom on both and they are using the same template... I'm lost.

Did you make any changes to the template settings for existing albums?
If so, did you also republish the images?
If you haven't republished, then give that a try. In Publisher settings, make sure that the "Push metadata...." and "Publish thumbnails without updating other rendition" (or words to that effect) are NOT checked.

You're bogging down the script with way too many images. The presentation is intended for much smaller albums.
Your file names are also full of commas, which are not web-safe, and so your file names are breaking the slideshow's HTML. I've written about using web-safe file names at length:
