Thumbnails for Portrait Images Cuts off Top of Image v17

The thumbnails for portrait images in v17 cut off the top of the image. This was not a problem in v16. An example of this behavior can be seen at

Go to Grab Bag - Stills - Weird People - Crashing Kristi and see pictures and see the last two pictures in this foulder.
It would be nice if this one could be fixed sooner rather than later.
Thanks

Have you already tried to change the settings in
/include/thumbnail.config.php
// Choose between styles:
// scaletobox, scaleandcrop, exactfit
$thumbstyle = 'scaleandcrop';

thanks... I changed this file from...
$thumbstyle = 'scaleandcrop';
to
$thumbstyle = 'scaletobox';
however... the next time Imageveux is upgraded will I have to change this again?
Should this parameter be in a config file instead of in the php file?

Its a good question and a good issue you mention here. With Imagevue 17, I chose to change default thumbnail creation mode to "scaleandcrop". This method creates identical-sized thumbnails, which generally look nicer in a gallery. However, it does like you say, cut of top and bottom of portrait style images.
The solution is as rp mentioned, to set thumbstyle to "scaletobox". I believe I might change it back to this setting by default, because it has been mentioned by a few users allready.

Evening!
It's a bit cumbersome, but I actually create my thumbs from scratch. This way I can control the exact ratio, compression, and general quality of the thumbs. It's just an alternative to the automated process if you're so inclined. Not so useful of course if you have hundreds of shots to work with!

You must make sure to
DELETE all your exsisting thumbnails (files starting with "tn_*" in your imagefolders) before the modified script will create new ones!
