Using the flash slide module is easy. Here are a few tips to getting the best look out of the module.

1. Two types of images make up the module. Main Image and Thumb Image. The module was designed around a main image size of 725x340 and a thumb image size of 56 x 56.
   Best results are achieved by starting with images this size.
2. The Default size the module displays on the install is 739 x 425. This includes the spaces around the images and boarders etc.
3. If you need to resize. Best results are achieved by working out the proportional size you need. For example. If you wanted to shrink things by 50%. Then.. using an image program, shrink your pictures by 50%. 725x340= 363x170 and 56x56=28x28. The graphics program will do this best. Then set the module settings down by 50% ie. 739x425 =369x213
4. We understand that sometimes you may want to distort and change the shape of the module. This is fine, and the module will adjust the images accordingly. However you must understand that the module cannot do anything above and beyond a graphics program. So if you start with original images with photos or text in the image, then they will look blurry if not changed in proportion to their original size and shape.
5. 5. As a last resort. Set the module the size you need it on your site. Place one image and thumb in place. Screen captures the display and use a graphics program to cut up the capture and work out the size of the main and thumb image. Then reproduce originals in this new proportion to get a sharper display of photos and text.
