7.1 Portfolio... Image cropping.

Hi everyone, i have a client who wants to do a squarespace upgrade. The site is an art site and she wants no cropping what so ever. She wants to upgrade to the newest 7.1 after reading about all the features. 

My issue is that the portfolio page (she wants as a home page), forces a crop on all images and doesn't seem to have a way to turn this off. 

Is there a fix or should i rely on coding? (I'd rather not code, she ends up breaking things easily, when she does her own editing.)
 

Thanks for the help,
Justin

I want to begin and make a website to display artwork that does not force any cropping, because I want to show the whole artwork. I was hoping for a thumbnail that then connects to a larger image. What templates work for this to begin with, without forced cropping? Also I am hoping for an e-commerce type site so I can put titles and prices. Thank you, to anyone who answers.

Have you found the template yet?

No not yet, maybe Alameda and then set the ratio for each image to approximately suit various images. Maybe I have to create white space on the sides via Photoshop to set the images at the forced ratios of Squarespace. That seems like a lot of work to me. I am just not sure yet. I am trying to learn more about Squarespace with videos and ordered a book and will attend a webinar
