I've recently started a tumblr, and lately I'm noticing that any images in posts that are originally mine (ie, stuff I upload, not stuff I reblog) come out stretched.

The images look fine when I view the posts in my dashboard, but on my homepage they all appear distorted. Here's what I mean:

The pictures look fine at the photobucket account I uploaded them to, and fine when I view the post in dashboard, but as you can see there, the images are stretched vertically.

Anyone know what's causing this, and how I can fix it?

I'm going to bump this for you, Bunny, since no one has replied. Someone who can help might see it on the main page.

Thanks alleycat, I try to avoid bumping myself (feels rude to do it toyour own thread).

I don't know anything about tumblr, but I checked and the images you posted are all 1024x768. One thing you could try is cropping and resizing your original images to that exact size, then upload them again. Just an idea; I have no idea whether it would work or not.

I've recently started a tumblr, and lately I'm noticing that any images in posts that are originally mine (ie, stuff I upload, not stuff I reblog) come out stretched.

Reduce the image in Photobucket (copy the image then reduce) to something more like 500 pixels wide by 750 pixels tall, max.

Make sure that the images aren't more than 10 MB each.

I suspect your images are being auto scaled by Tumbler.
