Photo Gallery
Before uploading any images to the gallery, go to wp-admin > Settings > Media to set the image dimensions. Every time you upload an image via the media uploader, it automatically generates a set of thumbnails (thumbnail, medium, large, etc.) according to your media settings. If you don't want to generate those thumbnails, enter zero ("0") for both max width and height.
Note: changing the image sizes after the images are already uploaded will not apply to the existing images. In this case, you need to regenerate the images. To regenerate the thumbnails: click on the Rebuild Thumbnails link under the Themify option link (located left side of the admin dashboard) and then click "Rebuild All Thumbnails".
