How can I accomplish this? The template references only the small image.

So I just went to the template and set the height and width within the img tag...
 
Using ViArt is giving me a lot of practice solving my own problems..lol.

Does that assume that all your images are in the same width/height proportion. I have all sorts of different proportion images so I would get distortion?

I have all of my images set to the same width and height. It works out the best for me to do it this way.
 
Let me change that...
 
All small images are one size.
All medium images are another size
All Large images are another size
All super-sized images are yet another size.

Christopher - like Dan, all of my images have the same width and height, so reducing them isn't a problem.
