What size should my slideshow images be?

The images that you put in the slideshow should have the same dimensions as the slideshow widget that you are putting them into. So ideally, if you are placing the slideshow widget in a container that is 1170 pixels wide, you will make the slideshow widget dimensions 1170 pixels wide.

Then, before you upload any images to the slideshow widget, you should make sure that all the images are 1170 pixels wide and also the same height as the widget too. 

If the images are small to start with, then increasing the dimensions of the widget will not change the dimensions of the images - We can't make the images bigger (only smaller). Image slideshows look best when all the images are the same size!
