Front page tile images

Hello all!

Recently I upgraded from an older version of WordPress to 3.8.

In the old version, any images I uploaded were stored as-was, with no resizing performed. My front page tiles all referred to the full-size images in question, and simply scaled them down by calculating reduced “width” and “height” attributes for the img tags. It was rather bandwidth inefficient, but the resulting images retained their original aspect ratios and looked nice.

Since upgrading to WordPress 3.8, it appears as though WordPress is automatically making scaled versions of each image upon uploading – between 8 and 12 for each image, in a variety of sizes. That’s no problem.

Of the 8-12 resized images, some are sized based on the original image’s aspect ratio, while others are based on static sizes – 150×150, for example, or 700×300.

What is a problem, is that all my tiles are displaying the 332×205 images (one of the static sizes). I would strongly prefer they used one of the aspect-correct ones instead.

Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this issue?

EDIT: Turns out I was making this more difficult than it had to be. Unchecked “Hard crop post thumbnails” and all’s well. Never mind!
