Gallery Display Mode and Face Detection

[Veronica]

Hello

For some reason, "Face Detection" is not working properly in my Image Galleries, please note the Men portfolio as an example - http://veronicacolvin.com/portfolio/men/

You will see that the model's heads are cut off in the initial gallery view. I have gone into each image and did a "Face Detection" or did an "add hotspots" to help the system detect the faces and recentre the images. It looks fine in the "Edit Gallery" preview, but then it does not transfer the changes once you update the gallery. (see link above where the heads of the models are still chopped off in the gallery).

I hope the above makes sense. More than happy to clarify - just let me know!

This is most likely related to the way WordPress crops images. It has nothing to do with face detection or anything else for that matter. Depending on how the image sizes are defined, images will be cropped to the specified dimensions using center positions.

Thanks for looking into it.

I'm not very techie, but essentially for me to resolve this is to view how WordPress displays the images and then crop the images to suit how I want it to display?

Actually Veronica, there's something going on in the back-end of the site that I can't see from the front end. The images displayed on the men's page all have -websize tacked on to the image name. This is not a standard WordPress crop name. Normally WordPress crops images and adds the image size to the name. For example, an image called image1 when cropped to 300x300 would be named image1-300x300. I've looked through the Modern Portfolio code and can't find anywhere the theme is creating those images. I think you have either a plugin or some custom code cropping the images to their display size.

Thanks Victor - the "websize" is actually me renaming the file after I have made them smaller (the photographer usually gives me very high res files). I do believe I have a custom gallery, so will spend the weekend trying to figure out what I have installed and how to fix it! Thank you for looking into it, will let you know how I go.

Fyi - I deleted the "face detection" plugin and it made no difference to how the images show-up. I think I installed it quite some time ago trying to initially solve this issue.
