9.) Pictures in picturebanners are displayed wrong

Question: What size do the pictures need to be to fill the banner left to right without your program "zooming in" on the photo? I've tried a few sizes and every time your program zooms in so you can't see the whole picture.
I looked at your HTML code and the completed banners are displaying at 468x60 but when I made the picture 468px, it still comes out zoomed in which I don't want.

Answer: The picture size is not so important than the picture ratio. All banners require a 4/3 ratio (expect the banners for upright pictures, they need a 3/4 ratio).
If your picture has a width of 468 it should have a height of 351 (4/3 ratio). If the height is less than 351 the program needs to zoom in to get the 4/3 ratio and parts of the left and right side will be cut.

If the height in your example is more than 351 the program will take the upper 4/3 rectangle and leave the rest at the bottom. This is because the hole place for the picture needs to be filled.
If the picture width is larger than the required size it gets scaled automatically. If it's to small it gets scaled up, but quality will be worse.

Thus the only thing to keep in mind is to upload pictures in the correct ratio.
