Editing Image Tiles

| How-To: Add, Remove and Edit Images |

Step 1.

Locate the desired page and select Edit in the top right hand corner. Once in the Rich Text Editor view, you are able to add/remove/edit images.

Resizing Images

| How-To: Resize Images to fit Template conventions |

Resizing images can be done within the Rich Text Editor.

There are two different ways to resize an image:

[1] Standard adjustment ratios can be easily done by selecting and adjusting the image, while custom adjustments require manual input.

[2] Custom adjustments should only be used when there are odd or unconventionally sized images, as in displaced or offset tile images.

Step 1.

To adjust the image size, click on the image in the Rich Text Editor and select Image Options.

Tile Images

Please note that the size of images within Tiles will always show at a constant size on the live page, regardless of what size they appear to be in the Rich Text Editor. Therefore, changing the size of an Tile image in the Rich Text Editor will not affect how it is displayed on the live page.

However, it can be convenient to reduce the image size of very large Tile images to aid workability in the Rich Text Editor. This can be achieved using the process described above.
