I really like the slideshow but I am having problems with odd croppings of any irregularly sized or vertical photos.
Is it possible to configure slideshows? If so, how?

ImageCache and CSS
To get rid of the cropping, which is the main issue, go to Site Building>Image Cache and then Edit and Configure these 400xY, author_photo, and
slideshow_image to take out cropping. I also took the cropping out for the photos that show up in articles, since the were only showing a small piece of the pictures.
I also customized the size of the slideshow image and the box surrounding it by adding these two tags to my subtheme CSS file (I have only one):
/* Slideshow */
#image-gallery-slideshow .view-image-gallery-images li {list-style-type: none; width: 665px; padding: 30px; height: 920px;}
#image-gallery-slideshow .jcarousel-container-horizontal {
border: 1px solid #dedede; background: #f5f5f5; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
width: 730px;
}
With those ImageCache and CSS tweaks I quickly got the slideshow looking really great except for one small thing: The "next image" button does not go all the way down and the arrow icon for moving right is crammed. You can see it here: http://workingdoghealth.com/slideshow/dog-described-and-illustrated
Anyone know how to lengthen the buttons for moving between slideshow images and fixing the arrow problem?
