I am trying to set the aspect ratio for a front page image that is almost full width. Currently as the screen gets smaller it decreases in width faster than height and looks skewed as a result.
I was thinking to use a media query to set brake points but that would mean some skewing inbetween the break points so I would prefer to use something that locks the height to the width and therefore keeps the aspect ratio. Can someone tell me how to do this in wordpress?

In our Firebase storage, we have images that have widths of 1080 and varying heights. Using this extension (https://firebase.google.com/products/extensions/storage-resize-images), we need to resize the width to 480, maintaining the aspect ratio. How can this be accomplished using this extension? It allows us to specify dimensions, but not what we need.
If this extension can't do this, what are similar alternatives?
From here
For example, say that you specify a max width of 200px and a max
height of 100px. You upload an image that is 480px wide by 640px high,
which means a 0.75 aspect ratio. The final resized image will be 75px
wide by 100px high to maintain the aspect ratio while also being at or
under both of your maximum specified dimensions.
I was also initially confused by this. In summary, the dimensions you specify are the maximum values of either dimension; depending on the aspect ratio, one or both of these values will be used, and aspect ratio will always be maintained.
The image in the bottom of the parallax theme appears to be too small. If you expand your browser to full height you will see that it is showing spacing on the bottom.
My first guess is that the image is too small. However the height is actually larger than the one I'm using on the top widget area. Should I get a larger picture or is there something I can do with css?

It is using the width to scale the height. So to get the height you desire, you need to make sure the proportions of the image are enough to go down far enough.
As an easy example lets say your page is 1000pxs wide. You need the image to go down 2000pxs. You would then need your height to be 2 times bigger than your width. A picture with a width of 1500pxs and a height of 2000pxs would not work because the image would scale to a width of 1000pxs and a height of 1333pxs.
I have written a fairly basic javascript function that when an image is clicked on a full sized version appears in the foreground.
The image is set with max-width and max-height numbers in a CSS file such that it leaves some space around the outside and it preserves it's own proportions.
The problem is that if the image happens to not be large, or the screen of the users device has a very high pixel density then the 'larger' image might not be any larger.
Is there a way I can keep proportions, not exceed say 90% on either side, but set the largest dimension to be 90%.
The closest similar method I have found is the fill option for backgrounds.

Set the width and height of the image to a relative value like 100% - (margin + border + padding) so that it will be stretched regardless of its actual dimensions.
Using max-width and max-height is a nice way to restrain your image from growing beyond specific proporitions, but leaves room for the image to decide what size it wants to be within those bounds. You say you do not want this, thus set width and height as well.
You can embed that image in div tag and apply css property width:100% to image and on click of image increase the width of div proportionately as per the resolution. In this scenario image with less width than parent div gets adjusted as per width of parent div.
I have an image of that has a height of 480px. On my Macbook it looks OK but when I go to my 30 inch monitor obviously there is a huge space in the bottom.
What can I do to make sure that the 480px will always be in relation so the size of the user's screen?
I did some searches and it seems that using background-image: cover or background position I can do some stuff but highly likely it's not what I am looking for. What can I do tackle this issue?
One way to achieve this is to place the image in a container that can scale with the page.
Height is a hard attribute to scale, but you can achieve it as long as all of the parent elements have a specified height as well.
You can use CSS code such as
height:40%;
to scale elements.
Scale the page's height here to see for yourself: http://jsfiddle.net/L7uWd/
Try with the width in percentage to set the image size as per the browser width. It's always preferable to set the width in percentage(instead of pixel) while re-sizing the element based on window re-sizing.
Set the image height to some percentage instead of pixel, that will automatically handle with the size of the screen.
A client wants to have an image that takes up entire screen, on mouse over the menu would appear. The problem is the height vertical alignment for various screen sizes....What would be the most common sleek looking solution to this issue? Let's assume that the most common screen resolution for the site's audience is 1024x768 but it should look good on smaller resolutions too (specifically for laptops).
My initial idea was to use an image such as 1000x600 and black background...any other ideas?
Thanks!
Compare the aspect ratio of the screen with the aspect ratio of the image, then scale the image appropriately. For example, if the aspect ratio (width / height) of the screen is larger than the aspect ratio of the image, then it's too wide - so scale the width of the image but keep the height the same size as the viewport. Visa versa for if it's smaller. I think you can use PHP to achieve what you want.
