Each option will have its own specific settings from left to right.

With grid view masonry, you can select the number of columns, the spacing between the images and the hover color and opacity.

This view will be in a letterbox view and will crop your image if not in the correct ratio – see here.
There are no additional options, you can just set the max height.
Horizontal Slider
This is a can be center aligned or a left aligned image – see here.
Select the Active slide alignment.
If its center aligned, then there will be an image shown each side.
With left alignment, an image will immediately precede the current image to the right.

This slider will not crop images and it will fit the container – see here.
There are no additional options, just select the slider height.
Gallery Max Height
This will allow you to set a max height on the single gallery posts for slider views 2-4. I would suggest using a slider no larger than 700px in height to allow a better fit for all devices.
