Getting the sizing of billboard photos right

If the photos are different sizes, it may take a few minutes to adjust each photo to display correctly in the billboard.
When an image is uploaded to your private Documents store, the system automatically creates a thumbnail, normal and large image of the original image. For example, the paths to those images are created as:

http://www.activefeetpodiatry.co.uk/activefeetpodiatry/pictures/normal/002155.jpg
http://www.activefeetpodiatry.co.uk/activefeetpodiatry/pictures/large/002155.jpg
You can choose which ones to use, normally it's the normal photo. Then what's displayed is defined in the:
- height of the billboard
- percentage width of the billboard on the page
- size of the photo which may be portrait or landscape
- the percentage width of the text area
It's the adjustment of the latter two that helps you get the sizing of each image correct.
