In G2 you could have multiple resizes, in G3, you can't (until someone creates a module for that)
To change the size of those images, go to Admin > Appearance > Theme Options and change the Resized image size (in pixels) setting

Then your images are taller than they are wide. G3 sets the longest side. If your images are consistent, you'll need to do the math. So if your images are 1200x1600 (instead of 1600x1200) and you want them to be 800px wide, then you need to figure out how tall they need to be.
1200/800 = 1.5
1600/1.5 = ~1066
So you'd need to set that (for this example) to 1066 and your images will be 800 wide and 1066 tall.
If they are not consistent, this is where the difference in complexity in G2 and simplicity in G3 is going to bite you. For example, in G2, you can set tons of settings for each album and even different themes. In G3, you can't. At least not without someone creating a module to extend that functionality.
Not right now, that's being worked on.
