My images get distorted. Already in the content type. I tried images of 300 by 245. Am I doing something wrong?

Tony,
The content type handles the raw files, so you only have to create one field for the image upload.
For each individual node, Imagecache (which is built into D7) handles the resizing. When you install Gallery Formatter, it adds 2 sizes in Imagecache settings (one for slide and one for thumbnail).
For the /portfolio page (which uses Views), you can chose one of the existing/default sizes from Imagecache or create one that works for the width of your content area in your theme.
Very Respectfully, Cesar Covarrubias

Cesar I have a couple questions. Does one need to create 2 fields in the content type in order to hold the thumb and the full image? Do I need to set the sizes in the content type too? If not where are the sizes set?

Thanks Cesar. Very helpful. I have been wrestling with researching and trying to decide which way to go with a similar gallery. Is it possible you publicize the link of your final version?

I deployed in Drupal 7 using Views 3, and Gallery Formatter modules. "Portfolio" node with Gallery (/portfolio/[node:title])) 1)Create new content type with the following types: Title, Body (or Description), Image. 2)Go into the "Manage Fields" windows and change the "Preview image style" to "galleryformatter_thumb". Set number of files appropriately (I set unlimited). 3) Go to "Manage Display" and change the Format to "jQuery Gallery". "Portfolio" page to display all "Portfolio" content types (/portfolio) 1) Create a view in Views (duh) with the title you want to give the page. 2)Set the Format to Grid. Settings are your choice, but to keep things clean I did a 3 wide node. 3)Set "Show" to fields, and select the fields from the nodes you want to display. I did things simple: the image and the title of the node. 4)Add Filter Criteria to search for Content type "Portfolio" Let me know if anyone has questions or if I wasn't clear on anything. Hopefully this helps other beginners.
