Help with scaling cover to fit thumbnail

Hi,

I'm having trouble scaling the cover of my book so that it shows up properly as a thumbnail in eReaders. The thumbnail only shows a portion of the cover, i.e. the upper left hand corner. I've noticed this in ADE, Calibre, and on my iPad. Can anyone help?

Thank you!

What reader are you using on the iPad?
How did you add the cover image to the EPUB (Tools - Add Cover?)?
What is the code on your cover page?
What is the resolution of the cover image?
Does Calibre cut off the thumbnail as well?
Does ADE cut off the thumbnail as well?
Does this happen with all your EPUBs or just this specific one?

Thank you for the reply.

The Sigil version I used (0.7.1) didn't have the "Add Cover" feature. I downloaded the latest version and added my cover using that tool - and it came out perfect.

Thanks again!
