First time posting in here. Continue to read and follow posts regarding this topic, which are many, but still stuck.
I sent a request to Squarespace to encourage them to add the option to select BOTH landscape and portrait versions in the product item image gallery slides design set up, since so many creators have both aspects for their sites products they'd like to display.
Been trying to display both vertical/horizontal aspect ratios in the product gallery slides simple design format. Found and tested many options, but not completely for what I'm needing. The closest I've come to CSS that can apply to the entire product images is the suggestion to create a tag for the portrait version, with css then appropriately resizing that tag. It worked, but the view is full size, which defeats the lightbox purpose which shows full size. Plus it's not consistent with the product image sizing of the landscape versions pages. Another was to use a 1:1 ratio, to keep it all consistent but that won't work and they'd like to display both 3:2 and 2:3 and assure their overall scale is the similar so it doesn't look lopsided. I assume this can get tricky if their images are not set to the same dimensions for both orientations and can lead to a variety of view inconsistencies? Don't know. If anyone has had success with this I'd be super grateful.
