Is It WordPress or StudioPress That Hates Photographers?

[chillybin]

if you dont want it to crop the image, change

add_image_size( 'grid-featured-388', 388, 200, TRUE );

to

add_image_size( 'grid-featured-388', 388, 200, FALSE );

then adjust to the right dimensions

@chillybin
have made the change
so that I now have (in NewsPro childtheme)
add_image_size( 'home-middle', 348, 180, FALSE );
hoping it's that simple 🙂
thanks in advance if so

Should be OK,

You now need to regenerate the thumbnails using http://wordpress.org/plugins/ajax-thumbnail-rebuild/

And you need to make that change in home.php as well to select the new image size you just created

Well it WAS that simple...
yes, I regenerated the thumbnails but don't appear to have needed to make an alteration to home.php for it to work (presumably as it's a modified rather than a new image size)

May not be quite what William wants, but absolutely solves my issue, and, as so often happens, came down to a single word of code!

@achuka, glad that worked for you! Not many of my sites would still look as nice with proportional thumbnails that end up at different heights (if the sizes of the original image weren't consistent), but for a Pinterest type photo layout, that type of display is probably desired.

@chillybin, why do you prefer the Ajax Thumbnail Rebuild plugin over Regenerate Thumbnails? Just curious... I had problems once with the Ajax one so I went back to the old workhorse one.
