Hi coding forum

Below is the code for a slideshow that I have been developing. It is located at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~usateden/panacea/slideshow

It displays pictures in the main frame, but the size of the images is resized to a certain size. For example the the image called Potters Park is really 500 x 800. For some reason the pictures are being forced into 400 x 279 size. (I know this size is created in code 2, but I have no idea how to free up the size restriction). I want each image to be displayed as the size that I have originally sized them too. (I hope this makes sense).
