Only landscape image on Single Post ? (Executive Pro)

[Toon61]

Hi all,
I'm working on a website for one of my clients, and they want to show landscape or portrait pictures on a single post.
In the functions.php there is a line that says:

//* Add new image size for display on single post page
add_image_size( 'singular', 680, 350, TRUE );

This always results in a (more or less cropped) landscape image, no matter what the original file orientation is.
How can I change this to differentiate between landscape and portrait, so there is a 'add_image_size' for landscape and one for portrait.
All suggestions are welcome.

You can add 2 sizes but that doesn't guarantee your images will look perfect.

What you need to do is crop them before uploadling.

Another option is to use the new 4th parameter for image crop position http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size

Brad,

Thank you for pointing me (again) in the right direction.
After reading about the settings on the WP Codex pages, i came up with this simple solution:
add_image_size( 'singular', 650 );
I removed the Height and Crop parameters, so now all images will be resized (scaled) to a fixed width (650px in this case), no matter if they are landscape or portrait orientated.
