I dunno, doesn't seem like this is happening, eh?
But, for what it is worth, here is an improved version of your picture ehljags. Maybe Jorge can use it for that spot? Jorge, you will have to resize it. I am not sure anymore how big I made that one.
The 60 X 300 image size is going to be a problem in my opinion, images are going to be distorted from what I have seen. I may play around with this one and see if I can get it to look right in the dimensions you specified, but with that 5:1 ratio, I kind of doubt it.
The wonder of using the Auto Adjust feature in Photoshop, eh? Turned your rather dull picture into a real stunner! Lovely car BTW!
Anyone else interested in doing this, I would recommend you get Photoshop Elements for a low cost solution. Has most of the features of the full Photoshop, but at about 85% less cost than the full version. Very powerful app. I have the full version, but you can do a lot with the lite version too.
Now here is what happens when you constrain this image to the 60 X 300 dimensions, not pretty! I did crop it in this version though, just trying something out.
Now, notice that the forum graphic image is not that small in height. I will look into it and see if using the same image size as the forum's graphic would produce better results. Gotta run.
