UPDATE: Never mind, I found the answer (in Configuration > Main > Images, set "Force Size" to No) It does not, however, provide for a transparent background keeping the canvas size the same for thumbnails, which is what I want to do. I have rectangular images I am trying to fit into a square thumbnail to keep the item box size consistent. Is there a way to do that and I am missing it?

Martin")* Hi, There is no system to do that. The problem is that what you want is impossible to support in standard. When you upload a PNG image, HikaShop generate the thumbnails in PNG. When you upload a JPG image, HikaShop generate the thumbnails in JPG. That way, you keep the pros and cons of each format for the thumbnails of the products. PNG/GIF supports transparency but not JPG. So when the system has to add blank to a JPG thumbnails in order to force it to a certain size, it's not possible to use transparent.
