Default thumbnail display in category display

when a customer selects a category and the products show up in the body of the page with thumbnails:

my thumbnails are set to display 200px wide in 2 columns but:

the thumbnails vary in height. I would like to vertically center the thumbnails , name on top and the caption below the thumbnail and have the rows line up nicely.


product 1 product 2 <--------lined up

----------------------
| |
| | ----------------------
| | | |
| | | |
| | | | <----centered
| | | | vertically
| | | |
| | ----------------------
| |
----------------------

product price 1 product price 2 <------lined up


Please help!

Best to resize the images themselves to a uniform size.

Default thanks for the reply!

Because of the composition of the photo content, I'm not able to size them uniformly...

That's what the Canvas Size command is for in Photoshop. Just set the canvas to the same size as the background so that all the images are the same size.

Default hmmm

Ok, well I don't use photoshop, but have similar features that I can use in Corel and in Fireworks. Thanks for the advice!

Corel and Fireworks will be fine as well. Just keep the same proportions of the final image size for all your images (I usually use square ones for consistency sake) and you will be fine.
