To use adaptive resize just use standart product image helper as always, just change resize() method to adaptiveResize(). Example

$this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'image')->adaptiveResize(400, 215) $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'image', $_image->getFile())->constrainOnly(TRUE)->keepAspectRatio(FALSE)->keepFrame(FALSE)->adaptiveResize(400, 300) //height is the same is width $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct())->constrainOnly(TRUE)->adaptiveResize(400)
