How do you customize a Table View Cell?

Hello, I am currently working on the Blog Reader Project and I'm having trouble with customizing the prototype cells. Currently, I am downloading high resolution images from the JSON data and the app does not format the images correctly in the individual image cells. How can I customize the image so it fits better in the imageView? Thanks, Kyle

you can create a subclass of UITableView cell and customize it in storyboard by adding labels, image views etc and drag outlet connections to that subclasses header file. that will give you a lot more control over the cell. Be sure you set the prototypes cell's class to your subclass

Also, my scrolling on the table view is a little choppy. Is it because of the images being loaded from JSON data? If so how would I lower the size...
