wrong image size in target file

torsten · 08-01-2023, 04:54 AM

hello alltogether
source file format: .odt
target file format: .ebub
image sizes: width: 419px, height: 600px
calibre version 6.23
open office version: 4.1.14
issue:
Images shown in the epub file are sized too big. Have tried several preferences in calibre before converting.
I can't find any points in the html or css to change the image size.
I'm grateful for an help.
Best regards
Torsten

How/where are you viewing the file? On an ereader, or in the Calibre viewer?

Can you post the code from your epub file for the image. It should look something like this...

<p class="centre">
<img alt="Pocket Books logo" src="OEBPS/OEBPS/pocket_books.png" width="50" height="93"/>
</p>

Ok, the attachment contains further information.
Annotation: I used a sampl for showing the problem. The target file now displays all images too big.
@Karellen: the html file contains no point concerning the image sizes.
It looks like this:
<p class="p-p4">*</p>
<div class="p-p4"><div class="g-fr"><img alt="" src="cover.jpeg" class="calibre2"/>
</div>
I'm viewing the file in the Calibre viewer.

Pardon, attachment was missing.

I'd export the epubs via conversion to docx, then since I use LO Writer I'd save them as odt format.

PDFs are only for viewing and really for paper. They are better made from Word or LO Writer after editing the styles etc.

But I gave up wasting paper/ink/toner even for proofs since I got an eInk ereader. I only use new PDFs now for POD for people that only want paper books.

If you remove the rule width:auto from .calibre2 and .calibre3 classes, and also add the desired dimensions to the html code as @Karelllen suggested, image gets resized:

.calibre2 {
height: auto;
max-height: 100%;
max-width: 100%;
width: auto;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

and

PHP Code:


			
<img alt="" src="Pictures/10000000000001A300000258372F48E4.jpg" 
width="219" height="300" class="calibre2"/>

Strikeout is a Forum style
you want to 'comment out' ( /* stuff to disable */ )
or simply remove

Ok, thanks everybody. That works.
I'll get back if I have any further questions.
