How to reduce slider height so featured images appear without unslightly cropping?

We love the DW Focus theme, but way in which the news slider crops featured images from posts is unsightly. How could we specify a fixed, shorter height for that slider so that the images display in the same aspect ratio as the 770×400 featured images without cropping? Thanks!

Hi James Bogner,
To resolve this issue please follow my instruction here:
1. Open function.php file in /wp-content/themes/dw-focus/functions.php
2. Replace the following code – line 687

  add_image_size( 'slider-thumb', 520, 400, true );

with:

  add_image_size( 'slider-thumb', 520, 270, true )

3, Use regenerate thumbnails plugin to regenerate your thumbnails after changing the thumbnail sizes.
Hope this help !
