I publish a few sites using Studiopress Magazine Pro, and although this isn't directly about the theme, I'm going to offer a couple of photo tips that may be very useful.
I hope that the webmaster will allow this post because we all work with pictures! Also, and am not connected with these companies in any way.
I've published over 60,000 thousand photos and they all required some "tweaking".
I'm sure you know that reducing the size of a photo usually isn't a problem. However, enlarging a photo is a different story. Usually enlarging a photo ends up with a very bad, grainy image. There is a free utility called ReShade that lets you enlarge photos and it has controls to reduce artifacts, denoise and more. It takes some practice but you can download it totally free here: http://www.reshade.com/
Now we get to a really amazing new photo enlarger. This is called AI IMAGE ENLARGER and as the name implies, it uses artificial intelligence to do the enlargement. It does an amazing job and has many options. You just go to the site and drag the image into the page. A few seconds later you can download the finished picture. You can enlarge several photos each month for free. https://imglarger.com/
Incidentally, the last site just recently introduced a background remover. You might find this handy, too.
I included my latest site URL at the bottom if you're interested.
https://moviedebuts.comIs this a recommendation for when your images are uploaded and they are too small for the theme image sizes?

Yes, you might need to enlarge an image for the template design itself or you might want to make all your content photos the same size. Over about a ten year period I posted over 50,000 images to one of my sites - and I made every image 588 pixels wide for consistency. That involved a lot of enlarging because most publicists send photos that are too small.
Oh okay. For making images larger than what's been provided you can also use Pixlr.com. But to resize an entire website of images I'd use the plugins Regenerate Thumbnails or reGenerate Thumbnails Advanced. You can also use a plugin call Imsanity and set the image configurations you want so that no matter what size you upload, they will be reduced to the limited size you added. i.e., if you say no larger than 2048 and the image is 3000, it's automatically resided to 2048 when you upload them. It also has a featured to run through all of the images in the site too. It's a free plugin.
