How to set the image size in albums
sphoto module has the ability to choose the image sizes to display when viewing a photo album.
The image size can be set in administer->site configuration->images ... here you can create new label with sizes. In the demo site, I created a new label called "Album" with "scale image" and 600x400 size.
Now go to : administer->statusbook config->photo gallery config
In the "Image Size" select box , select "Album" (or whatever you created.) and click "Save Configuration".
Remember that this affects the entire site ... meaning that all ablums will show whatever you selecf here.
