Images User Guide
Adding images
When you are in the Content area of the Writer you can add images by Drag and Drop or by the Pen -> Upload image
The maximum size of images are configured by administrators and is specific for the environment. The default maximum size is 40 MB but can be set to custom value in configuration for Editor Service.
Supported file types:".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".gif" are the default values if unset in the configuration.
Cropping images
To get to the cropping tool, select the image. The preset cropping settings are defined in the settings managed by the administrators of the Writer system. You see the original image, the cropping alternatives, in the example: 16:9, 3:2 and 1:1.
If the image holds defined photographer, it will show on the first row. Second is the caption text. Third is a demo field, that shows the oportunity to add other field, just as in the teaser.
If you hover over the orginal image, the buttons for image info, to download the image and to do a manual crop, are shown.
Image info - Image description, add creator, description, file name.
Download - Download the image to your desktop.
Manual cropping - Set a manaul define cropping size. (not supported in all environments and in all presentation layers)
Focal point
When you open the crop dialog I see a choice about "Use focal point" to the left below the crops.
When you select "Use focal point" you see a square with a dot in the middle of the photo. This is to show that the focus point is placed here right now.
Move the square with the cursor on top of the photo, you will see a cross. This indicates that you can choose another focal point. When you have chosen my focal point I click. The square is now moved to where I clicked.
Click on the image where you want to have the focal point.
All the crops is now adjusting to the new focal point so you can see the result before you click on Crop.
If you want to cancel your focal point, remove the select box of "use focal point" and the focus point will be in the middle of the photo again.
When you are done you click on the button crop and this focal point instead of the one in the middle of the photo will be used.
Using the cropping tool
You get to the cropping tool by pressing the cropping-symbol (if there are croppings, they are presented with a number).
