Hi,

WordPress has some default cropping sizes http://screencast.com/t/ifk8fE1HYk and we added more sizes inside the functions.php file – http://screencast.com/t/2QaaubXnqxL
Those sizes are used on modules and sliders (including the Big Slider), you can read here about the thumbs used on modules and sliders https://forum.tagdiv.com/modules-and-blocks/
From the media settings the theme only uses the “thumbnail” size which it’s used on search module.
It’s fine, that is how the theme dose with images. You can read here more about WordPress hard and soft cropping: http://www.davidtan.org/wordpress-hard-crop-vs-soft-crop-difference-comparison-example/
You could try to registers a new image size, you can read hare more about this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
Hope this helps!

Thanks

Thank you for reply. But… do I need or not to “Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)” ?

Hi,

Use that to modify the thumbnails size, you need that if you are using the search module layout which uses that image size.

Thanks
