: How to achieve better consistency with stock / vendor photos taken from different distances? I'm working on an e-commerce site and one problem I face is having to deal with furniture vendors

@Murray976

This seems like a simple matter of a two step workflow.


Crop all images to allow the same amount of white space around the
product.
Resize the images after the crop so they are all the same size.


That should get all the images the same.




(These are smaller because I only had your 250x250 images to work with)

Set some standards based on the limitations of the images you're working with

As discussed in the comments on Scott's answer, a good option is to choose your smallest image, enlarge it as much as possible without visible quality degradation, and then use the same amount of white-space available in that image as the benchmark for all other images.

Set a standard for both portrait and landscape images

In the examples you've given us, there is one mildly landscape image, and one heavily portrait image. After a little bit of thought, my best advice is to set-up a canvas upon which all images will be adjusted. Make this canvas as wide and tall as an image is allowed to be, without white-space, like so:



Use Save for Web... on each of the images, resulting in:



Then finally, pop each one into a ready made template with guides, and Save for Web... again like so:
